Have the Javascript function below which takes the name of an input on the form passed as a variable so that 1 function can check many inputs as I have up to 3 fields per form that can accept this data range.
function contact_number_check(formObj,field)
{
var obj = document.forms[formObj];
var regExp = /^([0-9 ])+$/;
alert(field);
//var check = obj.Extension.value;
var check = obj.field.value;
if (regExp.test(check) == false)
{
alert("Invalid Contact Number entered only 0-9 and Spaces allowed in input field");
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
it is called like this
var ext_check = contact_number_check(formObj,'Extension');
the problem is when I use the top line below it works if I name the field as it is called on the form, the field input box is named Extension in this instance. It does not work when I use the 2nd way of doing which is setting the value in the function parameter field and then passing it as a variable like I have in the 2nd line below
var check = obj.Extension.value;
var check = obj.field.value;
I know that field contains the value of Extension as when I alert(field); the out is the word: Extension.
Can I not use a variable this way in JS?
