 Topic: need a simple javascript function
Posted: 17 March 2008 at 8:17pm |
Can someone provide me with a function (using javascript) on how to check against a list of items...
example:
A user enters a specific value, the script will check against a list of items, if the specified value matches with any of the items in the list then the returned message would be: Welcome
If it does not match with the list, the returned value would be: rejected
Any help is appreciated.

Form Input Validation JavaScript?

Yes but not a generic one,.... not like the one that would check to see if as a field was populated with values...
what i'm looking for is a validation script that checks against a list of items as i mentioned above, and depending on the input it will provide different feedback, or direct to a specific page based on the feedback.

Well I may be on the wrong path here because all my knowledge is self taught (you only have to look at my websites to see that  ) but, google says: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a0z2h4sw(VS.71).aspx which might be what you want

That's done in .NET; I need a client-side code (javascript) for this.

Sorry Info....... See what I mean?
I'd assume though that you would need a database to compare the scripts inputs though, or is not the case?

What is this for? Home shopping? Database enquiries? Or am I just completely out of my depth?

How many items? Many or just a few?
Will this list change or remain static?
