Javascript Form Submission After Validation

Question

This script functions mostly how I would like it to: alert when a radio checkbox has not been selected. However, if all buttons are selected I need it the form to be submitt

Answer 1

You have a return before the form submit. That may be part of the problem.

Also, you are missing an else on the final if statement.

Answer 2

You're returning false regardless of your validation. Change the end of your code from:

if(treatmentChoice == "") {
    alertMsg += "Treatment" + "\n"
} {
      alert(alertMsg)
};
return false;
document.forms["form"].submit();

to:

if(treatmentChoice == "") {
    alertMsg += "Treatment" + "\n"
}
if(alertMsg.length > 16) {
    alert(alertMsg);
    return false;
} else {
    document.forms["form"].submit();
}

The length check checks the final value length of alertMsg against what you originally set it to.

Answer 3

Your returning before the form submit line, so it will never be called.

Answer 4

var alertMsg = "";

//....

if(alertMsg) {
    alert("Please Choose a:" + alertMsg);
} else {
    document.forms["form"].submit();
}

And please add ; to every statement.
