text field validations

[neeha sharma]

hai my dear friends

i got a task recently which contains 25 text fields and no field have same value.
please tell me the best and efficient way to validate this problem.

It sonds like you want to check none of the 25 fields contain a duplicate value. Do you want to do this in Java or JavaScript? In Java, you could put all the values in a HashSet and see that the size is 25 since the HashSet will remove all duplicates. In JavaScript, I think you'd need to write a loop.

why not in java ? Jeanne Boyarsky mentioned already

Without knowing anything about your environment, whether you want to do it in JavaScript or Java, it's difficult to provide helpful input.

Are they all named the same thing? Are they indexed? Java or JavaScript? Back-end framework or plain old servlets?

Moved to the HTML/JavaScript forum.

Read a form field

document.formName.elementName.value;
or
document.formName.elements["foo" + i].value

I hope you can figure out the rest from there.
