check whether the text box is filled with value or not

[rachana ravali]

hi ,
i have a form which contains text boxes.
If user fills some text boxes and click any link (which goes to previous page etc), a pop up should be displayed warning the user that he had already filled some text boxes and moving to the clicked link will discontinue the registration he is doing.

i am able to check whether the user had changed the data in text boxes using onchange but i need some function to check whether the text box is already having some value (then also it should show the pop up).

Please advice.
thanks in anticipation.

Iterate through the elements looking for text boxes with a non-empty value.
