Issues of script on required fields
I'm an absolute newbie to scripting, so I do a lot of copy and paste and editing of online. Here's my problem: I am creating a licence application form in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 (one free with Acrobat Professional 9). I have a dozen or require fields (basic demographic information) that I made on the form (what I've done through the object > value > palette user entered-required). I have a checkbox that holders would check if they operate at several facilities. I 'found' how (read: Google searched and copy and paste), and I know it works because when they check the box of the border around the text box turns red which indicates a required field. If the required fields are not filled, I want a message when they try to print telling them that they must fill in the required fields. I "knew" how to do this, but the script required me to individually list each field that is necessary. How do I get this error message, taking into account the text field that may or may not be required on basis if they have ticked the checkbox or not?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
You can run all the commits on a form with a single command and he wil return a true case of failure of one of the controls or a false if there is no validation error. So now the button that the user clicks (there must be a regular button) you can write code like this on the click event:
If (form1.execValidate () == false) {}
App.Alert ("you did not fill all the required fields...")
} else {}
Write here your print command...
}
This assumes that your root form node is form1 (look at the top-level in the view of the hierarchy node).
Hope that helps

Adobe, checking the forms that required fields are completed-Java Script
I inserted two Java Scripts in my form - one for the verification of the required fields are filled and then one to generate an email pulling a line of object custom, as shown below:
var emptyFields = [];
for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i ++) {}
var f = this.getField (this.getNthFieldName (i));
If (f.type! = "button" & & f.required & & f.display == display.visible ") {}
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"));
}
this.mailDoc ({' bUI:false, cTo: '[email protected],[email protected] [email protected]', bassujetti: ' form of Bugzilla for: '+ this.getField ("Bugzilla Title") .value +' - this.getField ("Bugzilla ID") .value + "" ""})
Question: After the error window shows the fields that were not completed, when I click on OK, the e-mail window.
QUESTION: How can I avoid that the window of e-mail to display until all the fields are filled?
Thank you!

Hi, PDF form of the guru.
How to make a text box becomes a "required field", IF a drop-down list is selected as the "Yes"?
and 'not required' if the drop down menu selected as 'No' or left blank.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
see you soon
Use this code in the custom drop-down list field validation script:
this.getField("Text1").required = (event.value == "Yes");
(Change "Text1" to the actual name of your text field, of course)

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.

Required fields forms Adobe XI
Hello
I am new to JVS and I need a little help from you guys.
I have a form created with Adobe XI with some required fields. The only thing I found on the forum in fact to force the user to fill in these fields was to add a JVS code to a button to the pop-up window, a message indicating to the user that the field... .this... .and this... and this... must be filled. The code looks like:
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"));
}
What I want to do, it's when the user ends to complete the entire form, he's going to push a button that will validate the form (above the code) and then trigger a save us to dialogue.
My question is to know how to make a link to existing code, another code for save us function that will jump upward from the economy than us to dialogue ONLY if the user filled the form, otherwise will give the java script error message.
NOTE: I tried with properties button / Action menu and added THE FOCUS the above JavaScript code and then execute a menu / save us... but this will jump to the top of the error if the required fields are empty and also save it without worrying about us dialogue the user will fix or not empty fields .
Your help is very appreciated,
Adrian,
Add this line at the end of the code:
of other app.execMenuItem ("SaveAs");

I need to make a required field 'A' if the user selects "OFF" in a ON / OFF dropdown
I need to make it a required field 'A' if the user selects 'OFF' in a drop-down list box ON / OFF.
Ideally, I would like to make several required fields - A, B, C, D, but I limit myself to one if someone can help me please.
You must run a JavaScript script for action 'the blur '.
If (event.value == "OFF") {}
this.getField("A").required = true;
this.getField("B").required = true;
this.getField("C").required = true;
} else {}
this.getField("A").required = false;
this.getField("B").required = false;
this.getField("C").required = false;

Make it a required field based on entry into another area
So I did search the forum for answering the question of how do some fields in a required form if a value is entered in another field designated and not required if no value is entered in the corresponding field.
For example:
There is a field called QTY_paper, and if a value is entered in QTY_paper, then the PROGRow1 field should be required.
If no value is entered in QTY_paper, then PROGRow1 is not necessary.
I tried both FormCalc and Javascript, but without any result. In FormCalc, I added this script as a mouseExit on QTY_paper event:
If ($.isNull == 0) then
Make the required field
PROGRow1.validate.nullTest = 'error ';
endifand then I added this script in FormCalc to mouseExit on PROGRow1 event:
If ($.isNull == 0) then
$. validate.nullTest = "disabled".
endif
This happened almost word for Word from another post on the forum, so I think I'm missing something obvious here... which is weird because I'm still pretty new by adding scripts. Please help if you can!
Yes a lot of dynamic things is not taken in charge in static PDF files, stuff works and many do not work. What a pity that you can not rebuild the form.
While the border color does not change, the field can still be getting the required value, and so it can still work as a required field.
The other alternative would be to make all fields and scripting in Acrobat.

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.

Bypass Validation required field required in dynamic form PDF
I faced a difficult situation, where some fields are required, but we need allow the rule of validation (required) required bypass when you save the form and require to fill in these fields when you submit the form. In other words, to allow a flexible control when to enable / disable this feature.
I wanted to put in place a flexible solution, and I will post my findings here. Appreciate your comments to improve.
Steps to follow:
1. mark the fields returned as required.
2 specify 'Empty Message' as "this field can not be empty", or similar.
3. specify the "Message of Script Validation" as 'this field must have a correct value before submitting', or similar.
4. create a Global Variable-level form something like 'StopTotalValidation' and '1' as the default means default, turn off Validation for some cases.
5. for areas that require this type of control, add the script (to be defined later) on the event to "validate":
myTools.validateForRequiredField (the);
6. create a Script object "myTools" and add the following script:
function initStringFunc() { }
Call this function to initialize Document
String.prototype.Trim = function() {}
return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
}
String.prototype.LTrim = function() {}
Return this.replace (/ ^-s+ /,' ");
}
String.prototype.RTrim = function() {}
Return this.replace (/------s+$/,' ");
}
String.prototype.isEmpty = function() {}
return (this == null) || "This.Trim ( == );"
}
}
function setNodeProperty (, of theNode Dubien newValue) { }
if (theNode [property] ! = newValue) {
theNode [property] = newValue;
}
}
function isNodePropertyEmpty (theNode, property) { }
var result;
if (theNode == null || theNode [theProperty] == null) {
result = true;
} else {
result = theNode [theProperty] .isEmpty ();
}
returns the result;
}
function disableTotalValidation() { }
StopTotalValidation.value = '1';
}
function enableTotalValidation() { }
StopTotalValidation.value = '0';
}
function isTotalValidationOn() { }
back StopTotalValidation.value ! = '1';
}
function isTotalValidationOff() { }
back StopTotalValidation.value == '1';
}
const conRequired = '(mandatory)';
function validateForRequiredField (theFld) { }
//
/ / Bypass required field Validation when the overall Validation is OFF.
//
var result = false ;
if (theFld) { }
If (theFld.mandatory & & theFld.mandatory == "error") { }
If (myTools.isNodePropertyEmpty (theFld, "rawValue")) { }
myTools.setNodeProperty (theFld, "rawValue" conRequired);
}
If (isTotalValidationOn()) { }
If (isNodePropertyEmpty (theFld, "rawValue") | ) theFld.rawValue.toLowerCase) == conRequired.toLowerCase ()) {
result = false;
} else {
result = true;
}
} else {
result = true;
}
}
} else {
result = false;
}
returns the result;
}
7. now click on the button 'save' call the function "disableTotalValidation()" and click on the button 'submit' call the function "enableTotalValidation()".
I just finished the implementation of the solution above, and according to my initial tests, it works fine.
I'll post this to my Google Docs workspaceand provide updates their.

Hi Niall,
In fact, it is not that some require and some do not need validation...!
The fact is that fields that are 'Required' rule ignored should only and only if the form is "saved" from the Save"" button.
The 'Required' rule should be triggered only and only the user is clicking on the submit"" button.
I think I can make use of your approach. The only problem I see now is how to mark the item of
of these fields with the details the user of LiveCycle Desinger interface requires? This means, I have to call a script on the initialize event of these areas, which is more work and more confusing for other developers. As I use a non-standard feature of the interface user Desinger. In my case, I added a simple invocation of the event 'validate' to a common function for all areas that need to follow this simple rule "bypass validation required...". »
But, I really like your solution. In fact, I understand what you're doing, but now the following questions are triggered:
1. What is the meaning of three time equal (=) in the statement of JavaScript "if"?
2 I need more information on the use of methods 'createNode()' and 'namedItem().
Tarek.

Help with required fields please
I tried to get help with a required field and of forum aid said he's got to work for me but I can't and I have not been able to get answers more of him to help me more.
I try to have a radio box when YES is selected to demand another field to fill. The script I got is:
getField("Location").required = (getField("Group1").value == 'Yes');
Location is the area I need to be filled if the Group 1 is Yes. The previous programme of assistance forum said I had to have this script in the two fields in Group 1 and when I do that, nothing else happens.
What I am doing wrong?
Please, I need to fix this immediately and I'll use this java script on many other forms that I have so I need to get there soon.
Thank you in advance.
This works. It's perfect. Thank you very much. You're my hero!

Required fields in a block?
I create a sign in sheet using Livecycle. I want to do some required fields if the user begins to fill in this block of fields.
This is what it looks like:

If someone fills here name, is there a way to force to complete their last name and email address?
When I tried the required fields it makes necessary to the entire worksheet, not only one record.

How do reset you a conditionally required field value?
Hello
I have a checkbox and joined it a group of Radio and script to require Radio group if the box is checked:
getField("JanCorrespondence").required = event.target.value = "Enclosed_Jan month"? true: false;
But how to reset the required field if someone clicks on Jan by mistake, he let fly and clicks Feb instead?

It seems that it should function in the mouse event to the top of the boxes in the left column:
// Make the radio button group required if this check box is selected getField("JanCorrespondence").required = event.target.value !== "Off";

Validate required fields are filled
I have the job of JavaScript to validate that the required fields are filled. Although emphasis is placed on the field properly, continuous script showing all error messages one after another, forcing the user to click OK on each one until they can fill in the field.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you
MDawn
Hello
Do you have empty messages to display all of the required fields are not filled and call the validation script before you submit it then, he would show all alerts for the left the fields one by one. It becomes boring.
Alternatively you can proceed as follows.
-Wrap the fields within a subform. It depends on you subforms how do you want to sue.
-In the validation script, you can call each posting of a subform. For example, you can call validation script of the subform-1 which has a lot of areas. If something is leftout then it show error this subform only. After that, if the validation then convinces the validation of the second subform script runs. So it would show alerts one by one, rather than a boring way.
For ex:
If (form1. Page1.Page1_subform1.execValidate ())
{
If (form1. Page1.Page1_subform2.execValidate ())
{
If (form1. Page1.Page1_subform3.execValidate ())
{
If (form1. Page3.Pag3_subform1.execValidate ())
{
}
}
}
}
on the other
{}
Thank you
Sidonie.
