Validation script to check if custom text field has been filled

I'm trying to get a validation script at the product options which will check if a custom text field (one of the options) has been filled in. So basically that it becomes mandatory when ordering the product, any way to do this?

http://www.x-cart.com/xcart_manual/online/?product_options3.htm

Example:

HTML Code:

var value = product_option_value("Color");

var value2 = product_option_value("Size");

if (value !== false && value == "Blue" && value2 !== false && value2 == 'XL') {

    alert("Sorry, the combination of Blue and XL is not available currently. Please check back later");

    return false;

}

Thanks for the headsup Eugene but I think this will not work in my case; I have a custom text field as product option and the customer needs to fill it in with a url

The name of the product option is 'url'

Would this be the solution":

Code:

var value = product_option_value("url");

if (value !== false ) {

    alert("Sorry, you should enter an url");

    return false;

Use this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
var value = product_option_value("url");

if (value == '' ) {

    alert("Sorry, Sorry, you should enter an url");

    return false;

}

Code:

if (value == false ) {

is more correct I think

Re: Validation script to check if custom text field has been filled

So what should I use?

Code:

if (value == false ) {

Code:

if (value == '' ) {

And is there a way to let the script check if it is an url?

btw when using the 'Buy now' button the script is bypassed :(

It seems to me two variants are possible.

It is highly depend on what are you mean by "correct URL".

Code:

var value = product_option_value("url");

if (value == false ) {

    alert("Sorry, you should enter an url");

    return false;

}

Should work. Code posted above by Ene is OK too. See if your custom field's name is exactly matching 'url' (including case)

Well if it is a valuable url i.e. something.something.tld
