Greetings. I have a situation where I have a first and last name field on an HTML created in HTML Painter and need to require the first name if the last name has been entered. I do not know Java script (yet) and was wondering if someone had an example. I know chaining does not work on text boxes. I have searched for 'required parameters' but no luck. Thank you in advance.
Paul

Hi Paul

you can create an event by clicking last name control - onchange. Then in the JavaScript function you can use: var lname = IbComposer_getCurrentSelection('lname_controlname') and IbComposer_getCurrentSelection('fname_controlname') to get the selected value. Then use a if statement to test if
you have a value in lname and fname. you can then do an alert('Please enter your first name');

If you have problems, open a case with tech support.

Thanks Barry

Here's a quick-and-dirty example using the CAR file. Let me know if you have questions on the code. The main thing to look at is function button1_onclick() which is tied to the "fake" submit button's onclick event (just a plain button that looks like the submit button). The actual submit button is actually not displayed. So, when you click on the "fake submit button" it runs some javascript that decides whether to programatically click the real submit button or not.

Thank you for the replys. I will need to get back to this at a later time as my priorities have shifted. I will respond back when I get back to it. Thank you again.
