Hi
1st thx 4 ur time. 2nd i am not a coder of any kind. i consider myself a code editor. i do pretty well editing various codes to suit my needs. this is my 1st attempt to edit jscript other than a basic variable change.

i have a form that i need to validate in 2 ways but i can only get the validations to work one or the other not both.

i am pretty sure i need to combine them with an OR(||)statement or something simple but i am at a loss as to how to do it. i have spent 2 days researching and trial and error to no avail.

if u could help me out i would greatly appreciate it.

again thx for your time

this is as close as i have come to getting it to work so far
