Re: Form Field Validation - codon boundaries
I should have provided more detail.
This has to do with nucleotide strings in DNA.
for example, consider the follow string:
123 456 789
act gta ccc ... (spaces not in string, just for clarity)
Any start position must begin at position 1,4,7, etc.
Any end position must conclude at position 3,6,9 etc.
So, I am not sure the function below would do exactly what I need??

If startVal, endVal, and lengthVal represent your values in JS [like var
startVal = parseInt(myForm.start.value); ], then the following should work:
if (startVal % 3 != 0) {
alert(Start must be a multiple of 3.);
return false;
} else if (endVal % 3 != 0) {
alert(End must be a multiple of 3.);
return false;
} else if (endVal startVal) {
alert(End must be larger than Start.);
return false;
} else if (endVal lengthVal) {
alert(End cannot be larger than Length.);
return false;
}
return true;
You could put that into a function and call the function on the form
onsubmit(return myFunction()).

I have the following:
length: xxxstart [ ] end [ ]
I would like to test for the following conditions:
* must be an integer
* start and end must be evenly divisible by 3
* end cannot exceed length
CFINPUT works for type test, but not sure how to generate the javascript
validation that would be required.

Re: Form Field Validation - codon boundaries
i dont know how, but im going to say some regex work here would do the trick.
