Validating Forms using Master Page "Next" and "Back" Buttons

Avatar

Level 1

Hi,

I am creating a wizard style PDF with next and back buttons to control the user's progess.

Rather place these buttons on every form I decided to place them on the Master Page.

This has worked well, with navigation, page numbering and button suppression (no back button on the first page/no next button on the last page)  working perfectly.

I am now trying to get execValidate to work on these buttons and am now struggling with the code.

Could someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Dog

Ok no respone yet so i'm guessing you folks may want some code to work with.

Here's mine, which I've attached to the :click property of the button (in this case the "next" button) on the master page.......and fails miserably.

var testy = xfa.resolveNode("form1.Page" + Str(xfa.layout.page(this)) +".execValidate()");

if( testy == false){

    xfa.host.messageBox("One or more required fields were missing data, please correct them before moving on.");

    }

else {

    xfa.host.pageDown();

    }
