Well say you set up your select value to be a list with a pipe delim. Say you have a course with min 4 and max 10 hours. <option value="4|10">Super Awesome Course #1</option> In your onChange you set a function call: onChange(validateCourse(this.value)) then your javascript function function validateCourse(objVal) { // set the course hours value to whatever the field name is. var cHours = document.formname.courseHours.value; var minMax = objVal.split("|"); if ((cHours >= minMax[0]) && (cHours <= minMax[1])) { // this is what you do when it meets your condition of min and max hours. } else { // this is what you do when it doens't meet your condition. } } On Mon, Jun 14, 2010 at 9:27 AM, Dawn Sekel <dawnt...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > The purpose of my Form to provide a report completed training.
