Calling FOCUS/Javascript

I have a .NET/WebFOCUS reporting application. I have an up-front asp page. On the asp page a user can select from many drop-down boxes. However, some combinations of reports and drop-down boxes are not allowed. I need to incorporate some javascript in the asp page to check for these invalid combinations. I can't seem to get the javascript to work, even the simple alert will not display. Any ideas?

Here's the snipet of the html code from the asp page:

CVASalesReporting

<script language="javascript">

function valForm() {

//var selected_report = document.Form1.document.getElementsByName("ucWUC1:RPTSEL_LBOX");
//getElementsByTagName('ucWUC1:RPTSEL_LBOX');

//var selected_report = window.Form1.document.getElementsByName("ucWUC1:RPTSEL_LBOX");

window.alert ("This is a Javascript Alert")

//if (selected_report != "TERRSALES") {
//window.alert (selected_report)
//window.alert ("Invalid report combination.")
//return false;
//}
//else return true;
}

//alert(document.Form1.getElementsByTagName.toString("ucWUC1:RPTSEL_LBOX"));
//alert(pagesObj.options[pagesObj.selectedIndex].value);
//}

function submitForm()
{
var strAction = document.Form1.action;
var strViewState = document.Form1.__VIEWSTATE.value;
document.Form1.target="_new";
// document.Form1.action="http://citms042.arvinmeritor.com/ibi_apps/WFServlet"
document.Form1.__VIEWSTATE.value="";
// document.Form1.submit();

document.Form1.onclick="javascript:valForm()"
//document.Form1.submit(onClick="valForm()")

document.Form1.target="";
document.Form1.action=strAction;
document.Form1.__VIEWSTATE.value=strViewState;
}

This is a WebFOCUS forum. ASP is not something we do often. Have you tried an ASP forum? This site might help: http://aspjavascript.com/

I am assuming that you have a link that call the submitForm java script function. In the submitForm function at the top add an alert to make sure it is being called.

function submitForm()
{
alert("Start submitForm...");
}

see if that works.
then if it does call valForm like so.

function submitForm()
{
alert("Start submitForm...");
valForm();
}

Hope this helps

‘form’ is a section of a document. It is like a tree. Starts from
navigator -> window -> document -> form and so on. We can not have document as pasrt of form itself. Here is what you have in you code.

 
var selected_report = document.Form1.document.getElementsByName("ucWUC1:RPTSEL_LBOX");

You can either use (because you are passing this form as value)

var selected_report = Form1.ucWUC1:RPTSEL_LBOX.value;

OR

I would try changing it to:

var selected_report = document.getElementsByName("ucWUC1:RPTSEL_LBOX");

Here is an example

 

<html>

<head>


<title>JavaScript Validation</title>

<script type="text/javascript">

function valForm() {

var selected_report = document.getElementsByName("ucWUC1:RPTSEL_LBOX");

window.alert ("This is a Javascript Alert")

// OR the following message

if (!(selected_report == "TERRSALES")) {//Provided ucWUC1:RPTSEL_LBOX is passing this value
window.alert (selected_report + "is an invalid report combination.")
return false;
}
return true;
}

//alert(document.Form1.getElementsByTagName.toString("ucWUC1:RPTSEL_LBOX"));
//alert(pagesObj.options[pagesObj.selectedIndex].value); 
//}


</script>

</head>

<body bgcolor="#ffffff">

<form name="Form1" action='/ibi_apps/WFServlet' method='post' onSubmit="return valForm[this);">

<h2 align="center">Please Enter Your Details Below</h2>



Report Name: <input type="text" name="ucWUC1:RPTSEL_LBOX"></p>



<input type="submit" name="send" value="Send Details"></p>

</form>

</body>

</html>
