Undefined error

[Rajkumar balakrishnan]

I have two java script files in my page, one for validation and another one for masking... The problem is when i press the submit button with out entering any input in any of fields it shows me error like this..

    * Please enter the Serial number
    * Please pick a date
    * Please select one option from vendor list
    * Please enter the Vendor Invoice number
    * Please select one option from status list
    * undefined

But when i remove the masking codee from my HTML page it works fine, like it doesnt display the undefined thing...Whats the possible cause for this...

Please let me know ranchers...

Well without seeing the validation code, how are we supposed to know what the error is?

Well i post here now...

if ( typeof(Xaprb) === 'undefined' ) {
   Xaprb = new Object();
}
 

Xaprb.InputMask = {
 
   
       masks: {
      date_iso: {
         format: '    -  -  ',
         regex:  /\d/
      },
      date_us: {
         format: '  /  /    ',
         regex:  /\d/
      },
      time: {
         format: '  :  :  ',
         regex:  /\d/
      },
      phone: {
         format: '(   )   -    ',
         regex:  /\d/
      },
      ssn: {

         regex:  /\d/
      },
      visa: {
         format: '    -    -    -    ',
         regex:  /\d/
      }
   },

    */
   setupElementMasks: function() {

         document.getElementsByClassName('input_mask').each(function(item) {
            Event.observe(item, 'keypress',
               Xaprb.InputMask.applyMask.bindAsEventListener(item), true);
         });
      }
   },
 

   /* This is triggered when the key is pressed in the form input.  It is
    * bound to the element, so 'this' is the input element.
    */
   applyMask: function(event) {
      var match = /mask_(\w+)/.exec(this.className);
      if ( match.length == 2 && Xaprb.InputMask.masks[match[1]] ) {
         var mask = Xaprb.InputMask.masks[match[1]];
         var key  = Xaprb.InputMask.getKey(event);
 
         if ( Xaprb.InputMask.isPrintable(key) ) {
            var ch      = String.fromCharCode(key);
            var str     = this.value + ch;
            var pos     = str.length;
            if ( mask.regex.test(ch) && pos <= mask.format.length ) {
               if ( mask.format.charAt(pos - 1) != ' ' ) {
                  str = this.value + mask.format.charAt(pos - 1) + ch;
               }
               this.value = str;
            }
            Event.stop(event);
         }
      }
   },
 
   /* Returns true if the key is a printable character.
    */
   isPrintable: function(key) {
      return ( key >= 32 && key < 127 );
   },
 
   /* Returns the key code associated with the event.
    */
   getKey: function(e) {
      return window.event ? window.event.keyCode:e?e.which:0;
   }
};
 

And the other file is the well known prototype.js file....
Will these two files conflict with each other....
Please let me know...
