Hi Klaus,
thanks for your help. The following code now works:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function validate(){
if ((document.myForm.email_projectname.value=="")||
(document.myForm.email_projecttype_id.selectedIndex<1)||
(document.myForm.email_region_id.selectedIndex<1))
{
alert ("You must fill in all of the required fields!");
return false;
}
else
{
document.forms["myForm"].submit();
return true;
}
}
//-->
</script>
Thanks again.
Regards
Walter
