Explanation of the required field?

Newby here.  So, I marked my form to have "required fields." But there is no error message when the user ignores the required fields.  Why? They are not "necessary".

Maybe 'necessary' does not mean what I think it means.  Can you give me an idea of what "required" made reference to in a form?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

The "Required" property is validated only when the form is submitted. If

you want that it is used in a different context, that you will need to use a script to do

yourself.

  • Highlight the required fields

    Hello. I have a form with many elements like select the list, text box, and date picker. These are the required fields of the form with the required model and required value set to Yes also. I want to emphasize these required fields with the pale yellow background when loading the page. Anyone can guide me please?

    For Multi Select Value:

    $('.select2-choices') .css ('background-image', 'none').css('background-color','yellow');

    And then, you add a line like this for each required field:

    $(' #s2id_ITEM_NAME.select2-choice') .css ('background-color', 'red').css('background-image','none');

    Replace nom_element with the name of the element in the page, something like P101_LOGIN, etc.

  • Prevent the 'Send Email' dialog box until the required fields are filled

    I am new to JS and fight with a last piece of code.

    I have a form with several fields. I send the form as an attachment to e-mail and need the required fields completed before the form can be sent by e-mail.

    Currently, I have a display alert message if all of the required fields are empty, but if I cancel the box warning, the 'send Email' dialog appears immediately and I can send the form even if the required fields are empty. I want the 'Send Email' box to appear only after completing all the required text boxes.

    The problem seems to be with the if/else line (IF all fields req. are empty, send alert. OTHERWISE open the box "Send email"). What is the best way to write this? Ideally, I would like to alert to list specific areas that are empty. Here is what I have at the moment - but obviously something wrong):

    If (requiredFields.length > 0) {}
    App.Alert (Error);

    } else


    var subject = this.getField("JobNumber").value + '-application form;
    this.mailDoc({)
    cTo: "[email protected]"

    })

    (Using Acrobat XI - thanks in advance!)

    LAST UPDATED 18/12/15

    Talk with someone @ Adobe (through our IT people we actually received a CONF. call w / an Acrobat expert!)

    It turned out to be the word "subject" in our Javascript. The word
    "subject" is a reserved word in newer formats and is read-only in
    Drive.  So we had to redefine the word & read "subject".

    Works great!

    Hello

    There seems to be a skin selector to change the icon

    . AFRequiredIconStyle

    A style class which the icon required for components of the form of the styles. You can't currently style this icon for each component.

    If you need to create a custom skin (see the Web Developer Guide) then change the global alias to for example

    . AFRequiredIconStyle {background-image: url(url-to-image)}

  • I'd do the signature field read only until something is entered in the required fields.

    I'd do the signature field read only until something is entered in the required fields.

    Attached a sample file that has two text fields and field of signature, the signature field allows only when certain values are typed in two text fields.

    Steps to achieve this:

    (1) disable the signature field when the form is loaded

    (2) to activate when the two text fields values are not null

  • How can I create a "print" button that will check the required fields before printing?

    I have a form that is almost ready to be published. There are a few required fields to fill out. I have a Setup button print and check the required fields using this JavaScript:

    var emptyFields = [];

    for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i ++) {}

    var f = this.getField (this.getNthFieldName (i));

    If (f.type! = "button" & & f.required ") {}

    If ((f.type=="text" & & f.value== "") |) (f.type=="checkbox" & & f.value=="Off")) emptyFields.push (f.name);

    }

    }

    If (emptyFields.length > 0) {}

    App.Alert ("error! ("You must fill in the following fields: \n" + emptyFields.join ("\n"));

    }

    Its form current you can click on the button and the required fields, the error message, but it still shows the form. Is there to allow printing not until all required fields are filled? I work in Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

    Thank you!

    In the end, use this:

    If {(emptyFields.length>0)}

    App.Alert ("error! ("You must fill in the following fields: \n" + emptyFields.join ("\n"));

    } {This}

    This.Print ();

    }

  • Programmatic access to the "required" fields

    Hello

    My form does not have a real submit button, so "kept" built-in is not function of the field of no use to me unless I can check by program the.

    So if I do 25 page 1 required fields, I don't want to have such a long statement checking if each has a null value.

    Is there a way I can "check" to see if any mandatory field is null? There may be a way to group fields in a table, or something - but it's beyond my capabilities at this time.  I'd appreciate any help!

    How did you film script to email through button?  By nature, using the button "submit" e-mail or normal button with him present URL like "mailto:[email protected] he should check the required fields are filled.»

    You can also simply put

    XFA. Form.Form1.execValidate ();  on the click event of the button.  This will force a check on required fields. (assuming that form1 is the top most name name in your) hierarchy

    Or as you have suggested more high loop through the fields check that they are required and if they are null.

  • Message for the required field

    I have created a form in Acrobat (not LiveCycle) with Acrobat X on Windows. The form must be accessible, and I need to alert users when a required field is not filed on.

    I tried to use this code in Action, the blur for the required field:

    f = getField (event.target.name)

    If (f.value.length == 0)

    {

    f.setFocus)

    App.Alert ("this field is required. Please enter a value. »)

    }

    Although the code appear in an alert message, I can't close the alert dialog box, nor can I add that to fill the required field because I can't after the closure of the dialog box.

    Does anyone have a suggestion?

    Furthermore, this line:

    f = getField (event.target.name)

    can be changed to this:

    f = event.target;

    And this:

    If (f.value.length == 0)

    should be replaced by:

    If (f.valueAsString.length == 0)

    or even better:

    If (! f.valueAsString)

    Since some entries from field (for example, numbers, 'true', 'false'), the length of the value property will be indefinite, given that the value property is not a string or an array. The code works since "".length == 0 evaluates to true, and undefined is 0 is false, but it's a little sloppy. "."

  • The required fields are not displayed message when left blank

    Hello

    I set fields as required in the value, the field Type as user entered - required tab. Also, I entered a message in the empty Message field. When the user fills out the form, they are allowed to send the form without fill in the fields.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Use the preSubmit event to check required fields / required before sending...

    Check the wire for ideas below.

    http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/606762?TSTART=0

    Usually, if you use the required field and submit the form, it will display the warning message that the required fields are missing, and continue to submit the form. It is therefore preferable to use the programmatic approach for the control on the form submission.

    When you search for the values of field programmatically, you must set the Type property of the value type as input by the user - option.

    Thank you

  • Using drop-down list and the required fields

    I am trying to create a timesheet in Livecycle to replace the current form I have in Excel. I'm still a beginner w / LiveCycle and this is the first question I've had for some time. I have problems that require a field based on a choice.

    The timesheet is set up as follows:

    Timesheet Screenshot.png

    In my excel spreadsheet when you choose the project, the customer: job field in the same row turns red, indicating that it is now a required field. If you choose overhead, the explanation field on the same line turns red, indicating who's now is a required field. I want to do the same thing with this form (blushes) is actually make the field required, which is simpler.

    Can someone help me with this? I feel very lost. If it is not possible to change fields based on selections from drop down someone has any alternative suggestions? Any help is very appricated.

    You can do the following...
    Exit the drop-down list with JavaScript as a language event.

    If (DropDown1.rawValue == 'Project') {}
    Customer.Mandatory = 'error ';
    JobField.mandatory = 'error ';
    }

    You can replace the domain names with the actual names in your PDF.

    If you want to enable compulsory you set property "error."

    to disable you set the property to "disabled".
