We would like to add a validation through our form before other scripts get implemented. Here's the workflow:
- User goes through and provides answers to checkbox radio buttons (user can only selection one of 3 options)
- The user hits a button and there is a validation that the user answered all of the questions.
- If the user did not answer all the questions, the form displays the questions the users did not answer in one alert box (Lists the questions by number, preferably).
I found the following script on another website, and while it looks right, I assume that I don't know how to appropriately pull first all the objects in my document and then only pull the radio buttons for the check.
function validateForm()
{
var ShowAlert = '';
var AllFormElements = xfa.host.topmostSubform.getElementById("FormID").elements;
for (i = 0; i < AllFormElements.length; i++)
{
if (AllFormElements[i].type == 'radio')
{
var ThisRadio = AllFormElements[i].name;
var ThisChecked = 'No';
var AllRadioOptions = document.getElementsByName(ThisRadio);
for (x = 0; x < AllRadioOptions.length; x++)
{
if (AllRadioOptions[x].checked && ThisChecked == 'No')
{
ThisChecked = 'Yes';
break;
}
}
var AlreadySearched = ShowAlert.indexOf(ThisRadio);
if (ThisChecked == 'No' && AlreadySearched == -1)
{
ShowAlert = ShowAlert + ThisRadio + ' radio button must be answered\n';
}
}
}
if (ShowAlert != '')
{
alert(ShowAlert);
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
I'm not particularly attached to this scripting, so if you have a better way of completing this please feel free to let me know.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
