conditional validation

[Ben]

Hi egeller,

Good question. The conditional logic for the RSV library is REALLY basic. I just added it because simple "if A=X then validate B" logic was common and wanted to cover that scenario with some simple syntax. In your case, it's a bit more complex so you'll need to use a custom function instead. For that, try something like this:

Code:

rules.push("function,mycustomfunction");
function mycustomfunction() {
  if ( ... c1_allergies=yes||c1_medical=yes||c1_medications=yes ... ) {
    if ( ... c1_medications != "yes" ... ) {
      return [[ *c1_medications DOM element * , "Please provide medical details."]];
    }
  }

  return true;
}

You will need to replace the if conditions with whatever code makes sense, depending on the field types. Sorry - that will take a little JS knowledge, but feel free to post back if you're not sure about it.

Also the return statement will need to return the c1_medications DOM element as the first parameter.

Good luck!
