I am trying to add javascript to my submit button. If the user doesn't enter in selection criteria. It is suppose to give them an alert and not execute the submit. I get it to show the alarm, but it executes the submit. What am I missing?

  

//Begin function form1Submit_onclick
function form1Submit_onclick(ctrl) {
	e1 = document.getElementById("edit1");
	c1 = document.getElementById("combobox1");

	if (c1.value == '' && e1.value == ''){

		alert("Please enter in a value for a Product or a NDC!");
		return false;
   }else {
   	return true;
   }
   document.form1.submit();

}
//End function form1Submit_onclick

Jay,

The form will submit because your document.form1.submit(); statement is outside the if statement. If you put it right after the else - I'm not sure what the return true; does, try replacing that with the submit statement.

This is what I changed it to and it is still submitting.

 

//Begin function form1Submit_onclick
function form1Submit_onclick(ctrl) {
	e1 = document.getElementById("edit1");
	c1 = document.getElementById("combobox1");

	if (c1.value == '' && e1.value == ''){

		alert("Please enter in a value for a Product or a NDC!");
		return false;
   }else {
		document.form1.submit();
   }


}
//End function form1Submit_onclick

Thank You for your suggestions. I had tried all those things before and they didn't work. So I rebuilt the form from scratch and I got it to work. I think there was a problem with the way the form was modified multiple times.

Thanks again

One thing you need to be aware of, is if the button is a submit button or not.

If it is, then the onclick needs to return a false/true, if it isn't then Jays, code will work.

Hi Jay

Create a new button and remove the value and add the IBI_btn-run to the class identifier. This will make the button look like the submit btn and then hide the original submit button.

If in App Studio then in the code for the new button use: IbComposer_triggerExecution(taskName, whichRequest) or in DevStudio use IbComposer_execute or just programmatically trigger the onclick event for the old submit button.

Thanks Barry
