Validation Loops

[Former Community Member]

Hello,



I am using the following script to ensure that mandatory fields are completed before the user tabs to the next field;



*exit

if ($.rawValue == null) then

$host.messageBox("Please enter the name of the requestor","Message")

$host.setFocus ("requestor_name")

endif



This works but unfortunately it creates a loop because the next field needs to be vaildated and so on!

I'm trying to set up validation for mandatory fields in Adobe Designer 7.0.



Moved to a different solution but it still falls over!



The validation now takes place once the user clicks on Submit. It checks to see whether there is a value and returns an error message if a mandatory field has not been completed.



It works but after entering a value in the blank field and then clicking on submit it returns an error message.

var mess

var sf

if (all_ok <> 1) then

if ( requestor_details.requestor_name.rawValue == null ) then

mess = "Please enter the name of the requestor"

sf = "requestor_details.requestor_name"

all_ok = 1

endif

endif



if (all_ok <> 1) then

if ( requestor_details.directorate.rawValue == null ) then

mess = "Please enter the name of the directorate e.g. IWS, UKTI SG etc"

sf = "requestor_details.directorate"

all_ok = 1

endif

endif

if (all_ok <> 1) then

if ( requestor_details.tel_number.rawValue == null ) then

mess = "Please enter your telephone number"

sf = "requestor_details.tel_number"

all_ok = 1

endif

endif

if (all_ok <> 1) then

if ( requestor_details.organisation.rawValue == null ) then

mess = "Please choose the relevant organisation name from the drop down list"

sf = "requestor_details.organisation"

all_ok = 1

endif

endif



if (all_ok <> 1) then

// submitHidden.execEvent("click")

$host.messageBox("Form complete")

else

$host.messageBox(mess,"Message")

$host.setFocus(sf)

endif
