How to check the value of a field

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to find the value of a given field so that I write a condition. Here a sample of the code:


//code starts here
cur_frm.cscript.custom_validate = function(doc){

    if (doc.getElementsByName('type_of_id')[0].value == 'Passport') {
        if (doc.id_number.length < 9){
            msgprint ("The ID number cannot be less than 9 characters long");
            validated = false;
        }

    }
}

// code ends here.


Basically what I want to achieve is this:

If the user selects 'Passport' as the type of id then the 'id_number' field must be checked for the length (in this case it shouldn't be less than 9 characters).

I doubt that my syntax is correct, I will greatly appreciate help or suggestion.


Kind regards,
Kat

To access the value of a form field, don't use getElementByName, instead use doc.type_of_id
