Validating Additional field in register.php
 

Hi,
I am trying to validate an additional field in the modify profile and the create profile page. I am using this script:

<script type="text/javascript">
{literal}
var PhoneObj = document.getElementById('additional_values_2');
if (PhoneObj.length!=10 )
{ alert('Please enter a phone number that is 10 digits long with no dashes "-".'); return false;
}
else return true;
{/literal}
</script>

but, everywhere that I place the code it does nothing. I need to make sure that the member inputs a phone number that has no "-" in it and is only 10 digits long.

Thanks for the help.

{literal} goes before <script> and {/literal} after </script>

I've changed the placement of the {literal} and {/literal} but I don't know where to place the code in the register.tpl. Should I put the code in the register_additional_info.tpl?

Insert it at the top in register.tpl

I have now changed my code to this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/skin1/customer/popup_open.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="/skin1/main/popup_image.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"><!--var PhoneObj = document.getElementById('additional_values_2');if (PhoneObj.length!=10 ){ alert('Please enter a phone number that is 10 digits long with no dashes "-".'); return false;}else return true;--></script>
I have moved the script to the suggested position in skin1/customer/main/register.tpl but it is still not validating the field. I have reviewed the code for the product.php page that uses javascript to validate the product options and there is one difference.

The field I want to validate is this:
<input type="text" name="additional_values[2]" id="additional_values_2" size="32" value="05135559999" />
and the code from the product page has this:
<select id="po3" name="product_options[3]" onchange="javascript: check_options();">
How do I get the
onchange="javascript: check_options(); into the register.tpl or register_additional_info.tpl?
