Question

Ideas and solutions for validating this form is wanted...

Answer 1

+1 A:

First of all make sure that the selected option in each select has a blank value.

<option id="Välj Årsmodell" value="" class="nav_option_main" selected>-- Välj Årsmodell --</option>

Then:

switch(category)
{
    case "Bilar": validate("annonsera_carssub"); //Switch the value of the category and call the validate function with the corresponding div id
    break;
    ...
}
function validate(divid)
{
    var container=byId(divid), //Get the div
    inputs=container.getElementsByTagName("input"), //Get every inpuy and select elements
    selects=container.getElementsByTagName("select");

    if(inputs[1].checked) return true; //If the second radio (buy) is checked there's no need to validate
    for(var i=2;i<inputs.length;i++) //Validate input fields. Skip first 2 radios.
        if(!inputs[i].value) {
             alert("Every field must be compiled");
             return false;
        }

    for(var i=2;i<selects.length;i++) //Validate select fields
        if(!selects[i].value) {
             alert("Every field must be compiled");
             return false;
        }
    return true;
}

I think this is the simplest way.

Okay... I was thinking maybe check for the only VISIBLE DIV and validate it if found, but I think this is more fail-safe than checking the document for visible DIV:s. Thanks

That depends on you there's not difference in the validation process
