I have a form which I'd like to alert people if ALL of the fields aren't pleted. I am currently using a jquery validation script for the required fields, but I need it to also let people know that not all of the fields are filled out before saving (they're not required fields, but just to let them know that the form isn't finished).
The form fields are:
type, status, rating, cterms, panyid, pany, name, surname, address, suburb, city, state, country, pcode, phone, email and ments
If someone could help me out with this, that'd be great, I dont mind if it's with jquery or javascript, just something that will alert that not all of the fields are pleted and if they want to continue with the save or not.
Cheers

$(document).ready(function() {
$('form').submit(function() {
var inplete = $('form :input').filter(function() {
return $(this).val() == '';
});
//if inplete contains any elements, the form has not been filled
if(inplete.length) {
alert('please fill out the form');
//to prevent submission of the form
return false;
}
});
});
function checkEmpty() {
var empty = false;
$("input").each(function() {
empty = ($(this).val() == "") ? true : empty;
});
if(empty) {
var empty_ok = confirm("Are you Ok with leaving stuff empty?");
return empty_ok;
}
the confirm returns a true if they click yes and false if they click no. Return that to the main validator as the value to pass to the submit() event.
Loop through each input element in a form:
$(':input', formName).each(function() {
// Check for pletion of each input type
})
( This is why I asked for the markup before blindly answering )
I don't think any of the solutions above account for the logic that only one of the checkboxes must actually be checked and you shouldn't just check if each of them has a value or they would all have one by default. Here's my version which relies on the div enclosing the checkboxes to have a class of 'checkboxgroup'.
Also, the elements that are not filled in are populated to the 'errorElements' array, which you can loop through and add any warning notifications.
$(function() {
$('#adminForm').submit( function ( event ) {
var errorElements = window.errorElements = [], valid = false;
$(':input', this).not(':checkbox').each(function() {
var val = $(this).val();
if ( !val.length ) {
valid = false;
errorElements.push(this);
}
});
$('.checkboxgroup', this).each(function() {
var checkBoxes = $(':checkbox', this), oneChecked = false;
checkBoxes.each(function() {
if ( !oneChecked && !$(this).is(':checked') ) {
valid = false;
errorElements.push(this);
} else {
oneChecked = true;
}
});
});
if ( !errorElements.length ) {
valid = true;
}
if ( !valid ) {
event.preventDefault();
alert('please fill in all form fields.');
} else {
alert('congratulations');
}
});
});
Checkbox Snippet:
<div class="pany_1 checkboxgroup">
<table width="135" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px #ff0000; margin-right: 10px; background-color: #ff0000; background-image: url(/templates/home/scripts/opacity.png);" class="classTables">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center" valign="middle" style="background-color: #ff0000; background-image: none; padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;"><strong>OTHER</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="middle" width="20"><input type="checkbox" name="classifications[70]" id="classifications[70]" value="70" class="checkbox" /></td>
<td align="left" valign="middle"><label for="classifications[70]">VIP Client</label></td>
If you have multiple checkbox groups just have an element enclosing them with the .checkboxgroup class.
