Simple Alert

[hemjesti]

I have this script.

<script type='text/javascript'>

$("li:has(div.err_msgs ul li) label").css('color', '#f00');

</script>


and when it runs it turns the label red - just like its supposed to.

Now i want to add an alert that says, if it runs, then open alert box that says, 'you've missed a required field'

any ideas?

I would try

<script type='text/javascript'>

$("li:has(div.err_msgs ul li) label").css('color', '#f00');
{
alert("you've missed a required field")
return false;
}
</script>

i'll give it a try tomorrow and let you know. Thank you very much!

[hemjesti]

yeah, that didn't work. it says, 'return is not a function'?

$("li:has(div.err_msgs ul li) label").css('color', '#f00');
{
alert("You've missed a required field.")
return false;
}

[hemjesti]

$("li:has(div.err_msgs ul li) label").css('color', '#f00');
{
alert("You've missed a required field.")
}

This works, but it loads an alert everytime you load the page. and it should only happen when err_msgs is active.

This is how i solved it. Thanks for your help James

$("li:has(div.err_msgs ul li) label").css('color', '#f00');
if($("li:has(div.err_msgs ul li) label").length > 0)
{
alert("You've missed a required field.");
}
