Make one field required based on another field

[Former Community Member]

I am trying to set a form up, so that when a check box is marked, then the corresponding date field is required.  I set the script language to Javascript and entered this script: 

if

(this.rawValue == "1") (PROPOSALDATE.mandatory = "error")

However, I get an error message stating "syntax error near toekn '!' on line 1, column 20."  There is no ! in this script, so I don't know what it is talking about.  What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

The script that executes if the statement is true should be inside curly brackets. So the following in the click event of the checkbox should work:

if (this.rawValue == "1")
{
     PROPOSALDATE.mandatory = "error";
}
else
{
     PROPOSALDATE.mandatory = "disabled";
}

The above is Javascript.

Hope that helps,

Niall
