$("#productName").setOnchange(function(newVal, oldVal) {
var productUrl = encodeURIComponent(newVal);
//search for product name in product link
if ($("#productLink").getHref().search(productUrl) == -1)
alert("Warning: Product name '" +productUrl+ "' is not found in product link.");
}
var productUrl = encodeURIComponent(newVal);
//search for product name in product link
if ($("#productLink").getHref().search(productUrl) == -1)
alert("Warning: Product name '" +productUrl+ "' is not found in product link.");
}
