Hi,

I'm not too good at javascript and I got a problem.
I've installed a modification for IB forum which let users to choose topic prefix befor posting.

How should I modyfie the script to get an error in a box when user don't choose any option from dropdown menu?

Here is a bit of code with the options:

</tr><tr>
<td class="pformleft">Prefiks Tematu</td>
<td class="pformright"><select name='TopicPrefix' class='forminput'><option value=''>Bez Prefiksu</option><option value=''>-----------</option><option value='Szukam: '>Szukam: </option><option value='Wynajmę: '>Wynajmę: </option></select> <i><small>Pojawi się automatycznie przed tematem</small></i></td>

</tr>

And here is fragment of javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var MessageMax = "{ipb.lang['the_max_length']}";
var Override = "{ipb.lang['override']}";
var dontpassgo = 0;
MessageMax = parseInt(MessageMax);
if ( MessageMax < 0 ){
MessageMax = 0;
}

function emo_pop(){
window.open("index.{ipb.vars['php_ext']}?act=legends&CODE=emoticons&s={ipb.session_id}","Legends","width=250,height=500,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes");
}

function bbc_pop(){
window.open("index.{ipb.vars['php_ext']}?act=legends&CODE=bbcode&s={ipb.session_id}","Legends","width=700,height=500,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes");
}

function attach_pop(url){
window.open("{$ibforums->js_base_url}act=Post&CODE=20&"+url,"Attachments","width=500,height=400,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes");
}

function CheckLength(){
MessageLength = document.REPLIER.Post.value.length;
message = "";
if (MessageMax > 0){
message = "{ipb.lang['js_post']}: {ipb.lang['js_max_length']} " + MessageMax + " {ipb.lang['js_characters']}.";
}
else{
message = "";
}
alert(message + " {ipb.lang['js_used']} " + MessageLength + " {ipb.lang['js_characters']}.");
}

function ValidateForm(isMsg){
MessageLength = document.REPLIER.Post.value.length;
errors = "";

// Check for remove attachments
if ( document.REPLIER.removeattachid.value > 0 ){
okdelete = confirm("{ipb.lang['remove_attach']}");

if ( okdelete == true ){
return true;
}
else{
document.REPLIER.removeattachid.value = 0;
return false;
}
}


if (isMsg == 1){
if (document.REPLIER.msg_title.value.length < 2){
errors = "{ipb.lang['msg_no_title']}";
}
}

if (MessageLength < 2){
errors = "{ipb.lang['js_no_message']}";
}

if (MessageMax !=0){
if (MessageLength > MessageMax){
errors = "{ipb.lang['js_max_length']} " + MessageMax + " {ipb.lang['js_characters']}. {ipb.lang['js_current']}: " + MessageLength;
}
}

if (errors != "" && Override == ""){
alert(errors);
return false;
}

else{
document.REPLIER.submit.disabled = true;
return true;
}
}

function removeattach(id){
if ( id != "" ){
var Override = 1;
document.REPLIER.removeattachid.value = id;
}
}

// IBC Code stuff

var help_click_close = "{ipb.lang['hb_click_close']}";
var list_prompt = "{ipb.lang['js_tag_list']}";
-->
</script>

I added:

if (document.REPLIER.TopicPrefix.select = ''){
errors = "Podaj prefiksa";
}

...but it doesn't work. :(
