Code
if(document.vwarform.contactircchannel.value == "")
{
alert("Read COC is blank. You must type YES!");
document.vwarform.contactircchannel.focus();
return false;
}
if(document.vwarform.contactircchannel.value == "YES")
{
alert("Read COC is other than yes. You must type YES!");
document.vwarform.contactircchannel.focus();
return false;
}
The First statement works. However, the second is skipped. Anyone know
why?
I want that field to be YES and not blank or any other text.

Try this
Code
if(document.vwarform.contactircchannel.value == "")
{
alert("Read COC is blank. You must type YES!");
document.vwarform.contactircchannel.focus();
return false;
}
else if(document.vwarform.contactircchannel.value != "YES")
{
alert("Read COC is other than yes. You must type YES!");
document.vwarform.contactircchannel.focus();
return false;
}

that works. However not for yes (lowercase)
I have tried
else if(document.vwarform.contactircchannel.value != "YES" || "yes")
and
else if(document.vwarform.contactircchannel.value != "YES" || document.vwarform.contactircchannel.value != "yes")
and
else if(document.vwarform.contactircchannel.value != "YES") || (document.vwarform.contactircchannel.value != "yes")
also tried it with the ^ operator in all 3 ways.

Well you are obviously wanting a yes answer so why not use a check box - this will acheive the same thing without all the mucking around...
