Check box validation using Javascript

Hi Everyone,
I am using LiveCycle with my form that have multiple sections in the form that have questions that have a check box yes or check box no next to it. The user can either choose yes or no. Note: I am not using radio buttons. I am looking for a Javascript function or code that when clicking a button I have set up as "regular" can check to see if a user selected either check boxes (yes) or check box (no) and validate that in that section the user has answered all question by selecting either yes or no. Example; Section (1) has (5) questions with a yes or no check box next to each question. I want to validate that the user selected 5 check boxes for this section (regardless if yes or no was answered for each) if only 2 out od the 5 questions were answered with either yes or no. I generate an error message.
I already have a function that searches the form and tells me how many manditory text fields have been left blank and throws an error. I would like the check box function to be the same. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jagan

function validateCheckBox()
if(document.TestJsp.BONUS.checked)
return true;
var len = document.TestJsp.BONUS.length;
for(i = 0 ; i < len; i++)
if(document.TestJsp.BONUS.checked)
return true;
return false;
Sorry for the triple post. :=)

Pre-validation using JavaScript cannot work in JSF?

Sometimes we need to do pre-validation using JavaScript in some senarios that data need be entered and validated at client site before it reaches to Web Application Server. Remind that JSF is a server validation. Creator seems not to allow Developers to do pre-validation using JavaScript for any editable input fields in form. I will illustrate an example and hope anyone can help me to solve it out.
Assume that if we write the a new web page that allows User enters Name and Phone. The pre-validation function called test() is written in JavaScript for validating field Phone. For simplicity, the below HTML/JavaScript without nested in table is a simple one for HTML form.
<html>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
function test(){
     if (form1.phone.value == "")
          alert("Please enter phone number in digits.");
          return false;
</script>
<form name=form1>
<input id="phone" type="text" size=20><Br>
<input id="name" type="text" size=20><Br>
<input type="submit" id="submit" onclick="test()" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Now, we consider using Java Studio Creator to generate the same form as describing above. The script is shown below:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jsp:root version="1.2" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page">
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>
<f:view>
<html>
<head>
<title>testForm Title</title>
</head>
<body rave-layout="grid">
<h:form binding="#{testForm.form1}" id="form1">
<h:inputText binding="#{testForm.textField1}" id="phone" style="position: absolute; left: 192px; top: 96px; width: 168px; height: 23px"/>
<h:inputText binding="#{testForm.textField2}" id="name" style="position: absolute; left: 192px; top: 144px; width: 168px; height: 23px"/>
<h:commandButton binding="#{testForm.button1}" id="submit" style="position: absolute; left: 192px; top: 216px" value="Submit"/>
</h:form>
</body>
</html>
</f:view>
</jsp:root>
After running Script that Creator created, the HTML is generated and reduced (for simplicity) as follows:
<f:view>
<html>
<body rave-layout="grid">
<form action="/rave/rave" id="form1" method="post">
<input id="form1:Phone" type="text"></input>
<input id="form1:name" type="text"></input>
<input id="form1:button1" value="Submit" onClick="test()"></input>
</body>
</html>
</f:view>
Take a look carefully at <input> elements. We see the syntax for naming for each "input" element that there is a semi colon added between form1 and phone or form1 and name. This syntax is generated from built-in JSF components. Hence, I rewrite the test() JavaScript function to match with the naming that Creator generated as follows:
<script language="JavaScript">
function test(){
     if (form1.form1:Phone.value == "")
          alert("Please enter phone number in digits.");
          return false;
</script>
Clearly, this JavaScript cannot be worked because of a semi column that Creator has named it.
I have tried to work arround for this but cannot find a solution except changing the name such as: from <input id="form1:phone" ...> to <input id="form1_phone" ..>. But I could not change or modify the scripts because it is generated from JSF components when running it under browser.
I guess to solve this problem, the naming for elements in form should be reconsidered in the next release of Java Studio Creator.

Hi Marie,
I currently sucess in client pre-validation using JSF. I found a way to do it.
Please take a look of how javascript has been added in the following scripts:

Why Check box is used in optional Category in GP Design time

Hi All
I have developed a small module in Guided Procedures using sequential block and pre conditional loop block with some callable objects and its working well. But i need to know why in "Optional" category check box is used ?.And also The check box is available only in the action below the Sequential block but is not available below Pre-conditional loop block(In GP Design Time)
Any Idea..
Thanks & Regards,

Not all locales come with a dictionary installed for licensing reasons.
If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the ''Languages'' submenu.
Also make sure that [[X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick.
You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Spell_checking and [[Using the spell checker]]

Check box validation

Hello all,
I need to perform validations on text field. I have two check boxes and by checking any one or both of them, a combination of text fields appear. I want to write four validations and one of them is shown below. I just have the basic idea, can anyone help me in writing it the correct way and what validation method(sql, item not null, regular exp, etc) to select?
BEGIN
IF(check box 1 is checked and check box 2 is unchecked) THEN
:P3_TEXT_FIELD_1 := required;
:P3_TEXT_FIELD_2 := required;
:P3_TEXT_FIELD_3 := null;
END IF;
END;

Hello,
Thanks for the suggestion. I am having the validation of the type function returning error text and this is the actual code that I am using in my application.
BEGIN
IF :P11_WRITING_OBJ_FLAG IS NULL AND :P11_LAB_SCIENCE_FLAG IS NULL THEN
:P11_NOTE_4 := NULL;
:P11_NOTE_5 := NULL;
:P11_NOTE_6 := NULL;
:P11_NOTE_8 := NULL;

return 'enter a value in the text field';
ELSE IF :P11_NOTE_2 IS NULL THEN
return 'enter a value in the text field';
ELSE IF :P11_NOTE_3 IS NULL THEN
return 'enter a value in the text field';
END IF;
END IF;
IF :P11_WRITING_OBJ_FLAG IS NOT NULL AND :P11_LAB_SCIENCE_FLAG IS NULL THEN
:P11_NOTE_1 := NULL;
:P11_NOTE_2 := NULL;

END IF;
END IF;

:P11_NOTE_4 := NULL;
:P11_NOTE_5 := NULL;

IF :P11_NOTE_1 IS NULL THEN
return 'enter a value in the text field';
ELSE IF :P11_NOTE_2 IS NULL THEN
return 'enter a value in the text field';
ELSE IF :P11_NOTE_3 IS NULL THEN
return 'enter a value in the text field';
ELSE IF :P11_NOTE_8 IS NULL THEN
return 'enter a value in the text field';
END IF;
END IF;
IF :P11_WRITING_OBJ_FLAG IS NOT NULL AND :P11_LAB_SCIENCE_FLAG IS NOT NULL THEN
IF :P11_NOTE_1 IS NULL THEN

ELSE IF :P11_NOTE_7 IS NULL THEN
return 'enter a value in the text field';
ELSE IF :P11_NOTE_8 IS NULL THEN
return 'enter a value in the text field';
END IF;
END IF;
END;
:P11_WRITING_OBJ_FLAG IS NULL and :P11_LAB_SCIENCE_FLAG are the check boxes and P11_NOTE_1 to P11_NOTE_8 are the 8 text fields that I want to validate based upon which box is checked.
I am getting this error when I enter some values in the text field and click on SAVE button:

How can I add check boxes without using the form widget?

I would like to use check boxes for our facets for our search engine. You can see an example below. Is there anyway to do this without using the form widget?
PJM - Site Updates

It is not possible to accomplish this with the Muse's Form Widgets. You may need to look for other online solutions and fetch the source code and add to the Muse page using the Insert HTML feature.

Checked box validation

Hi All,
I am using oracle Forms 10G on windows.
I need help on how to validate that only one check box is checked in detail block. I have multiple records in the detail block and I have check boxes for each record in the detail block.
I have a button to select the values from the detail records where the check box is checked. But I want to make sure that only one record is check not more than one.
And How to move the cursor to the checked record if the focus or cursor is in an unchecked record.
Thanks,

One way would be to create a forms level variable (Global, Parameter item, Forms Package Specificaiton, etc) to record the record number of a checked record. Each time a user clicks a check box, you would check your variable to see if it is greater than 0. If its greater than zero then you know the user has already checked a check box and you know which record needs to be unchecked. Another option would be to just pop a message to the user to uncheck any checked records. I like the first option because it is more user friendly. Here is a code sample. I like using Forms Package spec variables because of they have a smaller memory footprint, but you can use a Block item, Parameter, Global, etc to record the record variable.
/* Sample When-Checkbox-Changed trigger */
DECLARE
   n_curr_record   NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
   IF ( Forms_Var.checked_record > 0 ) THEN
      n_curr_record := :system.trigger_record;
      /* Forms_VAR is a Forms Program Unit Package Specification */
      Go_Record(Forms_VAR.Checked_Record);
      :YOUR_BLOCK.YOUR_CHECKBOX_ITEM := 0;
      /* Assumes you are using 0 = unchecked and 1 = checked */
      Go_Record(n_curr_record);
      /* return to the current record */
   END IF;
END;Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Check whether the checkbox in a form is checked or not using javascript

when we click a check box (TBD) it should set the value of a field to a default value '1234'. If we uncheck the checkbox, it should set the field as Null.
I have defined the checkbox as STATIC2:;1234 in form.
I used the onClick event on the checkbox and called a function to update the column.
Inside the function i am checking whether the check box is checked using
if (document.getElementById('P4_TBD').checked=true)
document.getElementById('P4_COL1).value='1234';
else
document.getElementById('P4_COL1).value=''; /* or $s("P4_COL1", "");
it works only when check box is checked. If check box is unchecked it is not setting the field as Null.
I checked document.getElementById('P4_TBD').checked=false instead of else clause. it is not working.
Please help me on this issue.
Thanks,
Ravi

When you are using checkboxes or option button, the ID for your button is using an index. If you create a group of 3 checkboxes with the ID = "MY_CHECKBOXES", APEX will create the following IDs for each of your options : MY_CHECKBOXES_0, MY_CHECKBOXES_1 and MY_CHECKBOXES_2. If you want to test if the first checkboxe is checked, you'll use document.getElementById('MY_CHECKBOXES_0').checked.
I didn't test for a lone checkbox, but I expect your checkbox to be "TDB_0" not "TDB" who is the frame around your checkbox group.

Need Check Box Help using Acrobat Multiple Fields

I am trying to get the check marks on this form to act as individual units that can be tabbed through (going down left column, then to right column). I used the "Place Multiple Fields" command to get all the check boxes in. Now, when I do my preview test run, if one box is checked more than one gets checked off someplace else in the form. I want them each work as their own unit and not be associated wiht the other boxes. Do I have to draw each one of these in individually to get this to work the way I want it to work? I am guessing that can't be true. This is a computer after all.I am betting it is an adjustment I need to make to the "Place Mulitple Field" command when I put them in???? I know this one will be a simple answer witha simple soultion. I'm tap dancing all around it and just can't get it. The visual shoudl expalin it all. Thank you.
I check on one box in the left column and it also checks other boxes in the right column or elsewhere.

You need to give each separate check box a unique name. If check boxes have the same name and export value, they will behave that way. If several check boxes have the same name but unique export values, they will behave as a group, where only one in the group can be selected, very similar to how a radio button group normally would behave.

Can a check-box be used to select more than one value

Hi, I have a form with a check-box that only allows one selection at a time. I have a requirement now to allow the user to select multiple selections. How can I accomplish this with a checkbox? Please help.

Then i didn't get your actual form-design.
Well there are 14 items displayed for each 14 denial reasonSo you have 14 items where each is for one denial reason, or 14 items where each has 4 denial reasons (14x14)?
They are all 'grouped' as one check_box item in the blockWhat does that mean. For the 14 items there is one checkbox? And what is the meaning if you check it?, and what if you uncheck it?
so I don't quite know how to be able to check 2 or more reason per recordAs far as i understand you, you would have to have 14 checkboxes, one for each reason, which can be individually checked/unchecked.
