    Hello

    This relates to the website www.tempjobs.ie

    A lot of users of this site forget to attach their CV.

    Does anyone know any javascript I can use which will force users to include the CV?

    Thanks! :)

    Why not just do some validation to make sure the required form fields (including the CV) are completed before you allow the form to be submitted.

    It's easy to do with JavaScript, for example: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_form_validation.asp. (You should also validate it on the server side to make sure).

    You could also put a notice asking them to add their CV - maybe people don't realise it's required.

    It's a bit more user friendly if you use inline error messages rather than alert boxes (as used in the example above) to let the user know what they need to fill in.
