Max,

Thanks for the reply. I was able to get it to work. No, you don't need to use the "return true" statement. The following worked:

if(document.orderForm.first.selectedIndex==0 && document.orderForm.second.selectedIndex==0){
alert("error message");
return false;
}

Hi,

You could loop through the form and use the following:

if (elements[i].type == 'select-one')
if (elements[i].options[0].selected)
{
eval(elements[i].options[0].value)
isOK = false;
}
where options[0].value is an alert, and isOK is a boolean variable that decides whether to submit the form or not. The above was cut from the "Validating Forms" script/tutorial at my site.

do you need to include 'return true'? Like this:

if(document.orderForm.first.value=="0" &&
document.orderForm.second.value=="0"){
alert("error message");
return false;
}
else{
return true;
}
