Hi all,

I'm writing my first few bits of script.  I want to validate a form that has two drop downs.  If the first drop down is not set to a value from the list (ie it must not == -Select-) then the script should show an alert then cancel submit.  If the first drop down succeeds then test the second similarly.  What ever I do the first drop down fails.  I always get a message in the status bar of the form with my error message.  My condition looks like

if ((form.field != "Option 1") || (form.field != "Option 2"))

{

alert "Invalid data. Try again.";

cancel submit;

}

and the second is identical but inside an elseif.  The strings in "" are just copied from the form definition.  I'm attaching this to the form on validate action.

Am I doing something very obviously wrong that anyone can see?

Thanks in advance
