trouble validating 2 conditions

**cottoneye1256** · 08-23-2010, 06:05 PM

Having trouble validating a form.
What I want to accomplish is if two conditions contain data then display an alert message.

If condition1 = "something" AND "name" or "last" or "homefone" or "email" also = "something" then display alert (condition1 has to be null if any other 4 contain data or if the other 4 contains data then condition1 can not.)

When condition1 is null and others contain data it works fine (no alert), when condition1 and the others contain data the alert is displayed.

What happens is when condition1 is unpicked (null) the alert message is still displayed

An easier way to describe it:
A=condition1
B=name,last,homefone,email

"A" has to be null if any items in "B" contains data
or
"B" has to be null if "A" contains data

is there an easier way to write the validating code??

thank you
