I have the following code snippet. For some reason the validation is not working.
I am trying to validate two things:
if any of these is false, I should get an error. But this error message is never being shown. Below is the snippet:
function validate() {
if (document.getElementById("name").value == '') {
document.getElementById("errorMsg").value=="You have forgotten to enter your name";
}
else if (document.getElementById("surname").value == '') {
document.getElementById("errorMsg").value == "You have forgotten to enter your surname";
}
else if (document.getElementById("email").value == '') {
document.getElementById("errorMsg").value == "You have forgotten to enter your email address";
}

function validate() {
if (document.getElementById('name').value.length == 0) {
alert("You have forgotten to enter your name");
} else if (document.getElementById("surname").value.length == 0) {
alert("You have forgotten to enter your surname");
} else if (document.getElementById("email").value.length == 0) {
alert("You have forgotten to enter your email address");
}
