Hi, I want to make a div tag which contains the errors to be displayed when the submit button is clicked. If the user doesn't enters any value in the textbox i want to show the error message. I have placed the error message in a div tag and made it to be visible=false. After clicking the submit button i want an javascript event to be called to check whether the user has entered the value or not if it is not then make the div tag with the error message to be visible, I thought of using this with the required field error and text but it doesn't work properly. I want to display the error message in the top when i enter these required field error and text it displays above the form. I called the javascript function in the are of submit/save javascript. In that for testing purpose i gave the script as alert($(First_name)); but it shows invalid name First_name. the First_name is the shortname i have used for the textbox then how come it shows an error. How the javascript function be called when the submit button is clicked. So plz do help me soon Thanks in advance

Sherlock, Hi. Well Client Side Events can sometimes be tricky... In this particular instance I think you have the right idea for first checking the alert and then changing the DIV etc... I would make sure to check out and maybe download the IPORTABLE files for demonstration 13 and 14 under the Dynamic Forms Demonstrations area. I would also make sure to use this javascript under the area for 'Initial Javascript' and 'Save Javascript'). Specifically for your code and error though, my guess is that you need to have 'before and after token. Such as alert('First_name)'); notice the ' before and after the token. I would even first get it to pop up an alert of static text instead of the value so that way you can narrow down the actual javascript VS the field value etc... -Chad

Hi, what version are you running under? For version 2.7 you should see options under the Javascript Configuration to fire different Javascript for Page Load and different Javascript for save/submission. These should be settings right above the custom javascript file, do you see these? -Chad

Hi. Do you mean 2.5? There is no version 4.5 of Dynamic Forms.

Hi. Well if you can get javascript to function properly on page load, then the exact same javascript should function under each textbox client side event. By default all textbox client side events are fired 'OnBlur', if you want them to fire in a different way you can set the short field name to include text such as 'onkeyup' or 'onkeypress' etc... This will fire the same javascript when a key is pressed in a textbox etc... Again, this is assuming you are hiding the DIV accordingly within the javascript though. -Chad
