Hi MorningZ,
thanks for your help it is greatly appreciated.
Yes i did get a bit confused with empty (i blame php :P). I've only
been playing with jquery or anything besides plain old
document.form.elementname JS for a week so i'm all over the palce.
I now have it all working just fine.
final code for any who are interrested is:
function EvalSecondContact() {
var arrSCFieldNames=new Array();
var boolSCFields = new Boolean;
boolSCFields = true;
alert("running"); // easy to test
arrSCFieldNames[0] = "#frmSC_Street_Address_1";
arrSCFieldNames[1] = "#frmSC_Street_Address_2";
arrSCFieldNames[2] = "#frmSC_Street_Suburb";
arrSCFieldNames[3] = "#frmSC_Street_State";
arrSCFieldNames[4] = "#frmSC_Street_Postcode";
for (var x=0;x<arrSCFieldNames.length;x++) {
if( $(arrSCFieldNames[x]).val().length<1 ){
boolSCFields = false;
}
}
if (boolSCFields == true) {
$("#frmUseSecondaryInfo").val("1");
} else {
$("#frmUseSecondaryInfo").val("0");
}
}
// }); // end function
$("#frmSC_Street_Address_1").blur(function () {
EvalSecondContact();
});
$("#frmSC_Street_Address_2").blur(function () {
EvalSecondContact();
});
$("#frmSC_Street_Suburb").blur(function () {
EvalSecondContact();
});
$("#frmSC_Street_State").blur(function () {
EvalSecondContact();
});
$("#frmSC_Street_Postcode").blur(function () {
EvalSecondContact();
});
