Need script to alert user to fill in another field

Hello,

I have a drop down menu labeled certifications. Actually i have 9 of these. called certifications1 and so on. Anyway i just need something that detects if the user selects the menu item called proforma invoice that a little window will open reminding them to make sure the recievers name and email is entered. Thats all i am looking for. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Depending on your drop down setting, there will two different way to refer to the changed value.

If you're using just the "List Items" scripts will be;

if (xfa.event.newText == "proforma invoice"){
xfa.host.messageBox("make sure the name and email is entered");
}

If you're using "Specify Item values" with the "List Items", scripts will be;

if (this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText) == "1"){
xfa.host.messageBox("make sure the name and email is entered");
}

both scripts goes to change event of the drop down in javascript.
