    <p>I'm new to web programming and I have the following form that I wish to validate.</p> <pre><code>&lt;form name="feature_request_view" action="FeatureRequestView.php" method="post" onsubmit="return validateAllFields()"&gt; &lt;p id="errorMsg" style="color:red"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="noboder"&gt; &lt;label for="approval"&gt;* Approve the feature request?:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="radio" name="approval[]" id="approval" value="1" /&gt; Yes &lt;input type="radio" name="approval[]" id="approval" value="0" /&gt; No * &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="button-style"&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Submit" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>The javascript code is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="../validation.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function validateAllFields() { var approval = document.getElementsByName("approval"); var errors = document.getElementById("errorMsg"); errors.innerHTML = ""; if(checked(approval, errors, "Please choose an option to approve/disapprove the feature request.")) { window.alert("got in the if block"); errors.innerHTML = "Your decision has been submitted."; return true; } return false; } &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>And the checked function that I used is:</p> <pre><code>function checked(element, error, msg) { var boxchecked = false; for (i = 0; i &lt; element.length; i++) { if (element[i].checked) { boxchecked = true; } } if (boxchecked) { return true; } else { error.innerHTML = msg; return false; } } </code></pre> <p>My problem is that the code never executes the javascript and therefore by passing it even though the radio buttons have not been filled in and it begins to execute some php that i used to populate a table. Please help! Thanks in advance.</p>

    2. COThe attribute `name="approval[]"` should be `name="approval"` to match with your javascript code.

    3. CO...consistent indentation makes code much easier to follow. Also be explicit about *what* isn't executing. That will lead to the answer.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
