Subform Question

[nakmo]

I have a LiveCycle dynamic form that has a subform that allows the user to add additional line (works great).



What I am stumbling with is the validation working on all rows. The validation script works on the initial row, but does not flow to the added rows. What I am think might work, is to look at the subform occurrance and qualify off that, but I don't have any idea how to do it.



If someone could let me know if I am looking in the right direction, has a better way, or has run up against this, any information would be greatly appreciated.

can you paste the script here? Is it universal?

Chris-



Sorry about the delay. I have been out of the office. Here is the script.



----- form1.Header.CompanyInfo.Request.AddALine::click - (JavaScript, client) ----------------------



////Validate TaxType has been selected

var aVar = 0

if ((Detail.TaxType.rawValue == null) && (Detail.ItemNum.rawValue != null))

{

app.alert("Please select a tax type.");

aVar = 1;

}

else

{

aVar = 0;

}

////Validate Yr

var bVar = 0

if ((Detail.TaxType.rawValue > 0) && (Detail.Yr.rawValue == null))

{

app.alert("Please enter the year for the request.");

bVar = 1;

}

else

{

bVar = 0;

}

////Validate Qtr

var cVar = 0

if ((Detail.TaxType.rawValue >= 1) && (Detail.Qtr.rawValue == null))

{

app.alert("Please enter the quarter for the request.");

cVar = 1;

}

else if ((Detail.Qtr.rawValue < 1) || (Detail.Qtr.rawValue >4))

{

app.alert("Please enter a valid number.");

Detail.Qtr.rawValue = null;

cVar = 1;

}

else

{

cVar = 0;

}

////Validate State

var dVar = 0

if ((Detail.TaxType.rawValue == 3) && (Detail.J_State.rawValue == null))

{

app.alert("Please select the state needed.");

dVar = 1;

}

else

{

dVar = 0;

}

////Validate Local

var eVar = 0

if ((Detail.TaxType.rawValue == 4) && (Detail.J_Local.rawValue == null))

{

app.alert("Please enter the local jurisdiction needed.");

eVar = 1;

}

else

{

eVar = 0;

}

if ((aVar == 0) && (bVar == 0) && (cVar == 0) && (dVar == 0) && (eVar == 0))

{

Request._Detail.addInstance (true);

}



Thanks so much form looking at this for me.

ok, it's all clear now. Please send me this form and I will try to fix it and then I will write a solution here.

ok, so, first of all it would be nice to know, how many instances do we have:

var numberOfDetail = xfa.resolveNodes("Detail[*]").length;



Then we have to make sure, that we check all the instances, so:

for(var i = 1 ; i <= numberOfDetail ; i++)

{



and then we have to make the validation universal so we gonna reference the fields by using their index. So if you want to access a field value, please make it like this:

var fTaxType = xfa.resolveNode("form1.Header.CompanyInfo.Request.Detail["+ (i-1) +"].TaxType");

if (fTaxType.rawValue == null)



It would be nice to set focus on the perticular field (with error):

this.rawValue = xfa.host.setFocus(fTaxType);



Tell me if you got it all and if it works.

I have added what you have above and I am now having a different error. The validation popups are working on the first line only. The debugger is showing the following if I click addALine on the second instance with no date entered or if I have selected the TaxType and have not completed the request. Also the setFocus does not seem to be working, the curse is not visible in the called field.



GeneralError: Operation failed.

I'm pasting the whole script, b/c I see some errors in yours. You will be able to figure it out.

Thank you so much. You are a great teacher for resolveNode. I have added the other fields to resolveNode and the verification works perfectly on all fields and instances.



I am posting the completed script so that if someone has the same question they can refer to what you have taught me.
