hi ram,
as i mentioned i m creating hidden variables & i m doing some validation on form submit.
The following is js code snippet for validation.
for (var i = 0; i < document.forms[0].admissionRank.length; i++)
admissionRank = document.forms[0].admissionRank.value;
for(var j = 0; j < document.forms[0].allAdmissionRank.length; j++)
//alert ("admissionRank : " + admissionRank + " document.forms[0].allAdmissionRank[" + j + "].value : " + document.forms[0].allAdmissionRank[j].value + "\ndocument.forms[0].allApplicantID[" + j + "].value : " + document.forms[0].allApplicantID[j].value + " document.forms[0].applicantID[" + i + "].value : " + document.forms[0].applicantID[i].value);
if(admissionRank == document.forms[0].allAdmissionRank[j].value && document.forms[0].allApplicantID[j].value != document.forms[0].applicantID[i].value && admissionRank != "" && document.forms[0].allAdmissionRank[j].value != "")
flag = false;
document.forms[0].admissionRank[i].focus();
document.forms[0].admissionRank[i].select();
break;
if (flag == false)
break;
In this validation i want admissionRank to be removed from the original arraylist if following condition gets satisfied
"(document.forms[0].allApplicantID[j].value == document.forms[0].applicantID[i].value )"
Thanks in adv
