Javascript for Alert in OAF Page

Question

Hi,
I wanted a popup Error to be thrown like the ones using js in client side validations
I had posted a thread earlier
Re: Javascript for alert
has anyone tried the js alert option and can you post the code and exact details of how it needs to be done?I have not worked in js earlier.
Also would want to know how to call this js to throw this error message and the risks of doing this.
Thanks,

Hi,
Try this...
StringBuffer jsString = new StringBuffer();
jsString.append(" function validatePage() { ");
jsString.append(" var alertMsg = ''; ");
jsString.append(" var view = document.getElementById('ContractEV'); ");
jsString.append(" var contractNo = document.getElementById('ContractNo'); ");
jsString.append(" var customerRef = document.getElementById('CustomerRef'); ");
jsString.append(" var projectNo = document.getElementById('ProjectNo'); ");
jsString.append(" if(contractNo.value == '' && projectNo.value == '' && customerRef.value == '') { alert('Please select Contract Number, Customer Reference or Project Number'); return false;} ");
jsString.append(" if(contractNo.value == '' && customerRef.value == '' && projectNo.value != '') { return true; } ");
jsString.append(" if((customerRef.value != '' || contractNo.value != '') && projectNo.value == '') { if(!view.value) { alert('Please select View you want to see for Contract'); return false;} ");
jsString.append(" else { return true; } } ");
jsString.append(" } ");
OABodyBean bB = (OABodyBean)pageContext.getRootWebBean();
bB.setOnClick(jsString.toString());
pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction("validatePage", jsString.toString());
OASubmitButtonBean okButton = (OASubmitButtonBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("OK");
okButton.setOnClick("return validatePage()");
