Files/Graphics attachments (if applicable): Code:

function alertBox (vField, vMessage, vType ) {

//this function replaces the spaces in a string with the provided character

//if we pass a null message, we are doing a multiple validation test. return
so we can check other conditions.
if ( vMessage == "null" ) return;

//otherwise, display the error message
alert ( "Field Contains Incorrect Value:\n\n" + vMessage )

//and set focus (plus select the text if a text element)
if ( vType == "text" ) {

vField.focus();

vField.select();

} else {

vField.focus();

}

return;
