Validate the mandatory drop-down list field

I currently have a button at the end of my form for users to print the form once it is over.


The button has the following script to validate that all required fields are completed (and to provide notice to those who are left blank)

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"));

}

However, I noticed that the necessary menu drop-down boxes do not appear in this validation and I was wondering how I would go all change this script to include in the validation.

Any help would be appreciated!

I did some successful tests with this code:

var emptyFields = new Array(); Table to contain the names of incomplete fields;
var oField; variable object field being tested;
var bprocess = true; guess that all of the fields completed;
for (var i = 0; i)< this.numfields;="" i++)="">
oField = this.getField (this.getNthFieldName (i));
If (oField.type! = "button" & oField.required ") {}
check according to the type of field
{Switch (oField.type)}
case "button":
do nothing;
break;
case 'checkbox ':
case 'radiobutton ':
If (oField.value == oField.defaultValue & oField.value == "Off") {}
emptyFields.push (f.name);
bprocess = false;
}
break;
case "combobox":
case "listbox":
case 'text ':
if(oField.Value == oField.DefaultValue) {}
emptyFields.push (oField.name);
bprocess = false;
}
break;
case "signature":
if(oField.Value == oField.DefaultValue) {}
emptyFields.push (f.name);
bprocess = false;
}
break;
by default:
App.Alert ("Field not processed" + oField.name + "type" + oField.type, 1, 0);
bprocess = false;
break;
} / / end switch type;
} / / end if necessary;
} / / end of loop fields;

If (bprocess == true) {}
do something;
App.Alert ("all areas completed", 3, 0);
} else {}
App.Alert ("error! ("You must fill in the following fields: \n" + emptyFields.join ("\n"), 1, 0);
}

    I am fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have drop them downs named. Copy you a then keep stick in each area? If so, that's the problem. You must rename each with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think this might solve the problem.

  • Drop-down list field

    Hi friends,

    In my application from the drop-down list field that I used "ObjectChoiceField" it works but it does not feel like a drop-down list field

    How can I do?

    by the look, he must feel like a drop-down list field?

    Thanks in advance

    I've seen this done before overriding the method object of the ObjectChoiceField to use drawBitmap. In this way paint you a picture on the right of the field (such as the traditional arrow pointing down). You can also use drawRect to draw a rectangle around the whole thing make it look like more traditional.

  • Using a choice of multiple words in a drop-down list field to launch a java script

    I'm a complete newbie to manuscript of java and relatively new to your building in Acrobat.

    I use a drop-down list field to fill in automatically other fields based on my 1st drop-down list selection.

    The 1st field drop-down allows me to select a variety of suppliers.  Once I have selected the vendor, he auto-remplit the coordinates for this provider.

    I've plagiarized the writing of scripts from this link: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/change_another_field.  I even changed my domain names for the moment.  I'll change my return form field names and the script to match once I got it working like I want.

    If I use only one name in my drop down list provider (1 field), the script works perfectly and auto-remplit contact as expected information.  However, many of my suppliers are two words or more... and I need those names in print, so I can't do just a contraction of a Word.  Here is the script I use:

    Here is an example of a supplier of single word name that works as expected:
    Put all vorkriegsbevölkerung data in a single data structure
    var DeptData = {ADLEMI: {contact: "P.O. BOX 2371",}}
    E-mail: "DOWNEY, CA 90242."
    {{deptnum: "PHONE: (562) 923-0333 FAX: (562) 923-8111 '}};
    function SetFieldValues (cDeptName)
    {
    this.getField("DeptContact").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .contact.
    this.getField("DeptEmail").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .email;
    this.getField("DeptNumber").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .deptnum;
    }

    Unique provider name, I used in the example above is "ADLEMI."  If I add 'BEST' to ADLEMI (see below), I get a syntax error.  I really need to be able to use several words in my list drop-down provider to trigger auto-fill.

    Put all vorkriegsbevölkerung data in a single data structure

    var DeptData = {ADLEMI BEST: {contact: "P.O. BOX 2371",}}

    E-mail: "DOWNEY, CA 90242."

    {{deptnum: "PHONE: (562) 923-0333 FAX: (562) 923-8111 '}};

    function SetFieldValues (cDeptName)

    {

    this.getField("DeptContact").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .contact.

    this.getField("DeptEmail").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .email;

    this.getField("DeptNumber").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .deptnum;

    }

    The only difference is that I added a space and the word 'BEST' after ADLEMI.  Is there a way to get around this.  I need to have several words in my drop-down list, or at least the full name of the vendor indicating in the field when I print it.

    Thank you

    Place quotation marks around the name of the element.

  • Create a dynamic drop-down list field in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    Hi all. I am creating a field in one of my forms using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I have a drop down list of 'core' items, and according to what is selected in the list, I want a second drop-down list to give different choices. I've searched and searched and have javascript that I thought might work, but maybe I'm have a mistake or I'm place javascript code in the wrong place, because it does not work. I know very, very little about javascript, any help would be so appreciated.

    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I added a "new field" and selected "drop-down list. The domain name is ProvType. The options of the menu drop-down are:

    Hospitalized patients

    External consultations

    Doctor

    I have "Commit selected value immediately" selected. The field is not validated. The format is 'none '. There is no measures or calculations associated with it.

    I then created another dropbox and named SubProvType. Under Actions, I selected the trigger as the mouse upwards and then selected the Action "executes a JavaScript script. I selected the Add button and he hit in the JavaScript editor:

    Switch (ProvType.rawValue)

    {

    case "Hospitalisation":

    this.setItems ("Hospice, hospital, Nursing Facility");

    break;

    "outpatient": case

    this.setItems ("adult day Center, Home, others");

    break;

    case 'doctor ':

    this.setItems ("surgeon, general practitioner, neurologist");

    break;

    }

    What I want to do is:

    If "Hospitalization" is selected, I want only the following options to be available in the second drop-down list box "SubProvType":

    Palliative care

    Hospital

    Nursing facility

    If "outpatient" is selected, I want only the following options to be available in the second drop-down list box "SubProvType":

    Adult day Center

    Home

    Other

    If the 'doctor' is selected, I want these options to be available in the second drop-down list box "SubProvType":

    Surgeon

    Family practice

    Neurologist

    However... when I close form editing and try to select a different option in the ProvType field, SubProvType field is left blank and there is no options available. Also, there are no errors.

    I must be missing something, but I have no idea where to start. Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide.

    Use this code as the ProvType custom validation script (and remove any code that you have associated with SubProvType):

    switch (event.value) {
        case "Inpatient":
            this.getField("SubProvType").setItems(["Hospice,Hospital,Nursing Facility"]);
            break;
        case "Outpatient":
            this.getField("SubProvType").setItems(["Adult Day Center,Home,Other"]);
            break;
        case "Physician":
            this.getField("SubProvType").setItems(["Surgeon,Family Practice,Neurologist"]);
            break;
    }
    
  • Show drop-down list field hide selection in another drop-down list box

    Hello I need to create two drop-down fields on a dynamic PDF in LiveCycle. The first field contains three choices. When a user selects an item in the drop-down list first I would like to a new field of drop-down list has been shown. For each item in the first drop-down list appears a new field drop-down list with unique values. If the user chooses blue drop-down list of blue shades indicate in this menu drop-down will be various shades of blue to choose for. If the Red is chosen, Shades of Red dropdown with appearance and if yellow is displayed the same occurs. Also if the user must go back and change their selection in the first drop-down list, they can do the same. Any suggestions?

    Thank you in advance.

    There are 2 ways you could do this. The first is just to have the 3 drop-down lists for the second box to separate and do them all hidden. The output of the first dropdown event would then have the code that would make it the second box become visible, something like (in formcalc):

    If ($ == 1) then

    dropdownRed.presence = "visible".

    dropdownBlue.presence = "hidden".

    dropdownYellow.presence = "hidden".

    ElseIf ($ == 2) then

    dropdownRed.presence = "hidden".

    dropdownBlue.presence = "visible".

    dropdownYellow.presence = "hidden".

    ElseIf ($ == 3) then

    dropdownRed.presence = "hidden".

    dropdownBlue.presence = "hidden".

    dropdownYellow.presence = "visible".

    endif

    The other option is just to have a dropdown that dynamically changes its options based on the results of the first box. So in the second box preOpen event you might have something like (in formcalc):

    If (dropdown1 == 1) then

    $. clearItems()

    $.setItems ("light red, dark red")

    ElseIf (dropdown1 == 2) then

    $. clearItems()

    $.setItems ("sky blue, dark blue")

    ElseIf (dropdown1 == 3) then

    $. clearItems()

    $.setItems ("light yellow, dark yellow")

    endif

  • How to create the link between the two drop-down lists

    Hi all

    I've created a form in which there are two drop-down lists.

    Let's say a drop-down list contains three elements A, B, C

    and another drop-down list contains three elements, Apple, banana and cherry.

    So, my request is how to create a relationship between these two drop-down lists, so that if I choose 'A' in the 1st drop-down list, Apple will be selected automatically in the 2nd drop-down list.

    Thank you

    Stéphane

    Hi Scott,.

    Niall is great. You can also use a hidden field to update the second drop-down list value.

    The first drop-down list change event script.

    Select var = xfa.event.change;
    var Items = List1.resolveNode("#items[0]").nodes;
    for (var i = 0; i)
    {
    if(Select == items.) Item (i) .value)
    {
    break;
    }
    }

    If (List1.Length > 1)

    {

    var Items_List2 = SecondDropdownlist.resolveNode("#items[0]").nodes;
    HiddenTextField.rawValue = Items_List2.item (i) .value;
    SecondDropdownlist.rawValue = HiddenTextField.rawValue;

    }

    Thank you

  • How to replace elements of the menu drop-down list

    Hello

    I have a drop down menu where I have disabled the custom text entry. the last item in the drop-down list is the option 'Other' where I want the user to write additional details. I was wondering if there is a way to bring up a text field when "Other" is selected.

    In addition, the drop-down list field extends all the way through the page... then when the option 'Other' is selected, would it be possible to automatically reduce the field to adapt to a text field next to it for the user to enter details.

    I don't know if there is a better way to do... any help would be very appreciated!

    Thank you!!

    Hello

    I hope you get it working soon.

    I suspect that the form is not saved as dynamic:

    Other than that, be sure that the references object in script matches objects in forms, including subforms if objects are in different subforms.

    If you could share the problem it would be useful to find the problem.

    I have a drop-down list. When a user makes a selection, I would like to query a database and return the results to be displayed in a form.

  • How to enable/disable readonly in text fields, drop-down list field?

    For example, I have a dropdown field named "DropdownField" and a field of text called 'TextField '.

    Within 'DropdownField', I have four choices: Option 1, Option 2, another, combination. When the user first sees the "DropdownField", they see 'Select Option.' When the "DropdownField' select Option, Option 1 or Option 2 selected, I want to 'TextField' to be a read only field. However, what other or combination are selected, I want them to be able to grasp things in the 'TextField', which makes is not readonly. Also, tell someone selects 'Other', but realizes that they have made a mistake, I want them to be able to select Option 1, and have the return of 'TextField' read-only.

    Currently I have the JavaScript code as a MouseUp on "DropdownField: action

    var getField.DropdownField = drop;

    var getField.TextField = text;

    If (drop.value! = 'Other' | drop.value! = 'Combination')

    {text.readonly = false ;}

    on the other

    If(drop.value = 'Other' | drop.value = 'Mix')

    {text.readonly = true ;}

    However, the JavaScript code above doesn't seem to work. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong!

    You must use the event to validate drop-down list and use a script like:

    var f = getField("TextField");
    
    if (event.value === "Other" || event.value === "Combination") {
      f.readonly = false;
    } else {
      f.readonly = true;
      f.value = f.defaultValue;
    }
    

    Also, set the option in the drop-down list "Value Commit selected immediately".
