okay ive been going over my script again and again, and i got the erros out, it works with no errors its not just working how i want it to. i want it to re-enable the submit button if 2 feilds in the form are empty, but its re-enabling it if only the author value isnt empty.
Heres all of my javascript dealing with the form. the function load it excuted onload.
Code:
function load() {
if(document.forms["pollform"]) {
document.forms["pollform"].votebutton.disabled = true;
}
if(document.forms["commentform"]) {
document.forms["commentform"].postbutton.disabled = true;
tick();
}
}
function tick() {
calcCharLeft();
setTimeout("tick()", 300);
}
function calcCharLeft() {
maxLength = 500;
if (document.forms["commentform"].body.value.length > maxLength) {
document.forms["commentform"].body.value = document.forms["commentform"].body.value.substring(0,maxLength);
charleft = 0;
clipped = true;
} else {
charleft = maxLength - document.forms["commentform"].body.value.length;
}
document.forms["commentform"].msgCL.value = charleft;
if((document.forms["commentform"].author.value.length !== 0) && (document.forms["commentform"].body.length !== 0)) {
document.forms["commentform"].postbutton.disabled = false;
} else {
document.forms["commentform"].postbutton.disabled = true;
}
return false;
}
