I have a form with three inputs, one for City, State, and Zipcode. Using javascript I need a simple way to check if the input for City contains a value. If the input does contain a value, I then need to check if State contains a value. If city contains a value, but state does not, I then need to trigger an alert box asking the user to enter a state.
This is my form code, Thanks in advance!!
<form action="home.php" method="post" name="location">
Please enter....<br /><br /><label>city:
<input type="text" name="city" size="10"/></label>

We get the user to enter zipcode first and then auto-fill city and state. Here is the code from zipcodeapi.com/examples:
<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
$(function() {
// IMPORTANT: Fill in your client key
var clientKey = "js-9qZHzu2Flc59Eq5rx10JdKERovBlJp3TQ3ApyC4TOa3tA8U7aVRnFwf41RpLgtE7";
var cache = {};
var container = $("#example1");
var errorDiv = container.find("div.text-error");
/** Handle successful response */
function handleResp(data)
{
// Check for error
if (data.error_msg)
errorDiv.text(data.error_msg);
else if ("city" in data)
{
// Set city and state
container.find("input[name='city']").val(data.city);
container.find("input[name='state']").val(data.state);
}
}
// Set up event handlers
container.find("input[name='zipcode']").on("keyup change", function() {
// Get zip code
var zipcode = $(this).val().substring(0, 5);
if (zipcode.length == 5 && /^[0-9]+$/.test(zipcode))
{
// Clear error
errorDiv.empty();
// Check cache
if (zipcode in cache)
{
handleResp(cache[zipcode]);
}
else
{
// Build url
var url = "https://www.zipcodeapi.com/rest/"+clientKey+"/info.json/" + zipcode + "/radians";
// Make AJAX request
$.ajax({
"url": url,
"dataType": "json"
}).done(function(data) {
handleResp(data);
// Store in cache
cache[zipcode] = data;
}).fail(function(data) {
if (data.responseText && (json = $.parseJSON(data.responseText)))
{
// Store in cache
cache[zipcode] = json;
// Check for error
if (json.error_msg)
errorDiv.text(json.error_msg);
}
else
errorDiv.text('Request failed.');
});
}
}
}).trigger("change");
});

It will be better to use HTML5 required form field attribute. I create the jsfiddle
for your.
Note that, as it stands, they will have always selected a state, since Alabama is selected by default. You can add an option with no value and a label of "Pick a state" to change this. With that advice taken and an id "city" on your city input
var city = document.getElementById('city'),
state = document.getElementById('state'),
cityFilled = city.value !== ''
stateBlank = state.value ==='';
if(cityFilled && stateBlank){
alert("Enter a zipcode, chump");
}
Using pure js you can write the code as
var val = document.getElementById("name").value; // get value
if(val == "") { // check its value, if null
alert("please write something here"); // alert the user..
}
And do that similarly for each and every input.
You need to add the id to each element to make the JS capture the element.
