Hi Sudarshan,

I managed to get Spry validation working on the select/list in the form but the group of text fields still has me without success.

Cheers

Great. For groups, take a look at this: http://phpmaster.com/form-validation-with-php/

Thanks Sudarshan,

I had a look at that link, thank you but the trouble is that doesn't explain about a group of text fields or not that I can understand, I have no trouble using Spry to validate individual text fields but trying to validate all of them as a group so the viewer must enter something in at least one of the fields is beyond me.

Cheers

Thanks for getting back Nancy O, trouble is the form is for ordering so they an option of choosing 1 or more of each product which has it's own field but I'm happy to use an alternative if I can get it to work. BTW the client doesn't want to go e-commerce on the site as this time.

Cheers

#1 Product ordering IS e-commerce.

#2 Text fields are not conducive to product selection. That's what Radio buttons or Check boxes are for.

Select One = Radio buttons.

Select more than one = Check boxes.

Credit Cards & Forms (e-mail is not secure)

Thanks Nancy O, what I meant to say regards e-commerce, they don't want credit card payment at this time.

I can see how radio buttons would be ideal for ordering qty 1 but how would you use radio buttons when they could be ordering say, 2, 3, 4, etc ? Just not sure how I would implement that.

Have you considered a Selection List?

<form>

Select One:

</select>

</form>

Just want to get your advice one more time please Nancy O

This particular order form has 5 different products

Each product can be ordered in a qty of one or in a case, can I still group all of those Select lists? So the viewer must select 1 at a minimum before the form submits?

Cheers
