Generate message box warning if value is outside range

  1. I need to generate a error warning via a javascript message box alerting the user that their zipcode/location is outside the bounds of my client's service area. I also need this to be evaluated in real time after the 5th digit is entered so the user is alerted immediately as opposed to when the form is submitted. Any suggestions as to where to start would be appreciated.

  2. We can't really help you with JavaScript or jQuery functionality like this. You want to look at client-side validation using jQuery so you can provide instant feedback on entered values to your users.

    Here is one such tutorial online:

  3. I didn't realize the "number" field validates for range of values. Not perfect but it'll work for now.
