JavaScript validation message not run

[Former Community Member]

In my GPA numeric type field, I have the following script associated with the GPA field:



----- F.P2.HighSchool_GPA::validate - (JavaScript, client) ----------



0 <= this.rawValue && this.rawValue => 4.00



I then checked the Validation Script Message error check box. However, when I typed in 5.5 and use the keyboard tab key to the next field, I do not receive any pop up error. It is set to Run At client and uses JavaScript language.

Try this script instead:



if (this.rawValue != null) {

if (this.rawValue >= 0 && this.rawValue <= 4) {

true

} else {

false;

}

}

Thank you so much! That works! However, one more question. Is there a way to have the cursor come back and highlight the field that generates the pop up error message? Currently after I click OK on the pop up error window, the cursor either focuses on the next field or not found at all on the form.

Not the way you're doing it. But you could uncheck the validation script error message choice in the UI and use a script like this:



if (this.rawValue != null) {

if (!(this.rawValue >= 0 && this.rawValue <= 4)) {

xfa.host.messageBox("Error Message");

xfa.host.setFocus(this.somExpression);

}

}

Again, the code you provide works and I can live with it now. Thanks! But just curious, why is it not working when I use the enter key on the keyboard instead of the tab or the mouse? Currntly if I use the tab on the keyboard or the mouse to move to the next field then after the popup error window the focuse will come back to the field that generates the error, but not if I use the enter key on the keyboard.
