Trying to validate jsp page with JavaScript

[Craig Giles]

The following code is in one of the .js files

 // Radio Button validator
validation_fields["managed_by_flag"] = {
  message_field_name : "js_managedby",
  choice_selection : true,
  msg_handle : "MANAGED_BY_FLAG",
  screen_name : "Job Management",
  monitor_event : "click",
  css : {
    norm_css : "norm_msg_inline",
    err_css : "err_msg_inline"
  },
  validation : {
    required : true,
    attribute : "checked"
  }

};
// Fields that make up the check box group
validation_fields["managedbyflag"] = {
  monitor_validator : "managed_by_flag"
};

It has been changed to the following:

// Radio Button validator
validation_fields["managed_by_flag"] = {
  message_field_name : "js_managedby",
  choice_selection : true,
  msg_handle : "MANAGED_BY_FLAG",
  screen_name : "Job Management",
  monitor_event : "click",
  css : {
    norm_css : "norm_msg_inline",
    err_css : "err_msg_inline"
  },
  validation : {
    required : true,
    attribute : "checked"
  }
  ,
    validation : {
    extra_validation : validation_H2B(); //,
                //            extra_H2B_field: "flc_type_cd",
                //            extra_manage_field: "managed_by_flag"
  }            
};
// Fields that make up the check box group
validation_fields["managedbyflag"] = {
  monitor_validator : "managed_by_flag"
};

The function we are trying to call
function validation_H2B(element){
  if(!element || element === window) return true;
  
                var value = element.value;
  
  var validation = element.validation;
                var H2B_value = getElement(validation.flc_type_cd).value;
                var manage_value = getElement(validation.managed_by_flag).value;

                if(H2B_value == "B" || manage_value == "M") return true;

                
                var isValid = true;
                var sH2BMessage = "";
                
                if (H2B_value == "B") {
                  if (manage_value = "M") {
                    sH2BMessage = "Must Be Employer Managed when a H2B Job Order.<br />";
                    isValid = false;
                  }
}

 

The original code is called from a jsp page and will give an error if either of the two radio buttons were not selected,
we have tried to just add the code to run the function "validation_H2B" after it had checked
to see if one of the two radio buttons were selected.
It is trying to check if the button with the value of "M" is selected that it
also check another radio button group and see if the button with the value of "B" was selected
and if it was to give an error.
We are not getting a error message when the two are selected and it is not throwing any error
message back to the console or anywhere else that we can see.
We are not sure if we can call two checks from the same validation, if it is going to the
function or not? We may not have the function written correctly, we don't know.
We got the code from a third party and have lost our lead programmer so
we only have two newbees trying to figure out what someone else wrote and how to add checks to it.

Code not working

saying 'not working' isn't actually the right way to ask.. it could help if you point some error instead.

If H2B is select then the user can only pick Managed by 'E'

what is 'E' ?

I think you should read this first.
