Enter value in them if this text boxes are blank .

But if radio button2 is selected then throw alert for Entering

As usual it would have helped if you'd shown the existing code, but (assuming you're using the CSS display property):


if( element.value == "" && element.style.display != "none" )
alert( ... );
