Re: Validation

[Brightonmike]

Found a way to make it so if the user selects a return flight, they must fill in the return date too. I couldn’t do this using the multi-leg method because I can’t check for “required” fields on the last slide.

So the way I am doing it is I have code it so whether or not the flight is a return, there must be a value in the return field for the form to submit. Then I add to the conditional a bit of code that inserts a word into the return date field if the user has selected a single flight. This means single flights still submit because technically the field has a value, a value we can just ignore.

Then, if the user selects a return flight, the script removes this value so the field is blank so they have to fill it in to submit.

Have to say I think that was a stroke of genius! :P
