Verify Checkbox before Submitting Form

I have a form that has a script in the submit button to verify certain fields before submitting the form. If a field is blank an error message is generated stopping them from submitting it. I have one checkbox that also needs to be verified but can't seem to get the script to work for it. I just need to know how to word the script to make the checkbox give an error using if else. Thanks!

The value of a check box when it is not selected is the string "Off", but not "off", blank, false, or anything else. So the code might look like:
// Get the value of the check box
var v = getField("cb1").value;
// Do something based on the value of the check box
if (v === "Off") {
    // Check box is not selected
} else {
    // Check box is selected

  • Is there a way that you can have two different text fields (email, phone) that one at least one of them must be completed before submitting the form? Can it be done using javascript in the validation tab? if so, how?

    Here is one solution:
    // mouse up action for submit button;
    function GetField(cName) {
    // get field object for cName field with error checking;
    var oField = this.getField(cName);
    if(oField == null) app.alert("Error accessing field named " + cName + "\nPleae verigy field name, spelling and capitalizeation.", 1, 0);
    return oField;
    } // end GetField function;
    var oPhone = GetField("phone");
    oPhone.required = oPhone.value == oPhone.defaultValue;
    var oEmail = GetField("email");
    oEmail.required = oEmail.value == oEmail.defaultValue;
    if(oPhone.required && oEmail.required) {
    app.alert("Missing required fields.", 1, 0);
    } else {
    app.alert("Submitting form", 3, 0);
    // additional code for submission;

  • Is it possible to have a form for 2 individuals to complete before submitting?

    Is it possible to have a form for 2 individuals to complete before submitting? The first person will fill out a portion of the form and the second person will fill out the rest of the form and submit.

    You can create a submission-enabled PDF first. Ask the first person to fill out his or her portion of the PDF form and save the file. Send the saved file to the second person and have him or her to fill out the rest of the PDF form and submit.
    To create submission-enabled PDF
    1. Click on the Distribute Tab
    2. Click on the "Save Sumbission-Enabled" PDF button.

  • Why doesn't default CREATE USER form show a "Check"  Page before submitting

    Hi
    Interesting question.
    When I create a User (using my Customized Create User Form), and I press SAVE, the Form is submitted immediately. There is no "stop-and-check" page, which allows one to review the entries made BEFORE submitting the form itself.
    For example : when EDITING or UPDATING a User, and you press "Save", the form is not submitted right away. Instead, a new page opens, where you can review the changes you made, to ensure that they are correct. In fact, at the bottom of this new page, there are 4 standard buttons : SAVE...........RETURN TO EDIT............CANCEL
    This is a very good system, because it allows you to check your entries, and make sure they are correct, before pressing SAVE again to submit.
    However, the "Create User" form does not have this same arrangement.
    Is there any way to customize the Form, so that, when creating a User, and you press SAVE, a "check-page" first shows up (just like when updating/editing a user) ?
    Thanks

  • Issue with checkbox on tabular form

    Hi (to all my friends in deperate times),
    I have a tabular form on a page, which i use for addition of record only. So it always displays me a blank row, which is ready to be inserted after user has filled in data and clicked submit button.
    Now I have a checkbox field on this tabular form. Since all the columns i show as null, I also show this checkbox as unchecked when page shows up. Here is the query for the source region of this form:
    SELECT null "Client",
    null "Currency",
    HTMLDB_ITEM.CHECKBOX(40,'YES',null) critical_box,
    FROM dual
    I have used 'YES' as return value of this checkbox( when user has checked it, else i assume it will be not equal to 'YES').
    I have my own update process, which gets fired on click of 'Submit'.
    this is my insert clause in this update process:
    INSERT INTO table1
    (client, currency,critical_level)
    values
    (APEX_APPLICATION.g_f01(i), APEX_APPLICATION.g_f02(i), decode(APEX_APPLICATION.g_f40(i),'YES','YES','NO')
    Now problem is that when i click checkbox and save it, it adds record correctly. But when i dont click checkbox during insertion, at that i get error message that no data found. It should insert 'NO' for 3rd column when checkbox is not clicked.
    Please help here. Not sure why its giving no data found error when checkbox on tabular form is unchecked.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rave.

    Hi,
    In the linked thread, the solution was to provide a second, hidden, item that always returned a known value. This item, also created using the APEX_ITEM package, uses the same index number as your checkboxes - so, if your checkboxes use index 40 (to get "f40"), then the hidden item uses 40 as well. This way, we always get at least one value for each row and the last possible value in a row will be known.
    So, assume that the hidden item values are "NO", you have 10 rows on the page and the user ticks items 1, 2 and 5. The f40 items submitted would be:
    YES:NO:YES:NO:NO:NO:YES:NO:NO:NO:NO:NO:NO
    so, there will ALWAYS be 10 "NO" items and the YES item immediately before it will be the checkbox on the same row. So, if we loop through all f40 items, the YES values mean the checkbox and the NO values mean end-of-row - and, if we keep track of the NO values, we know which row we are on.
    So, the code to find the data in f01 and f02 relating to the the YES values (the checked checkboxes) would be something like:
    DECLARE
    vROW NUMBER;
    vF01VALUE VARCHAR2(100);
    vF02VALUE VARCHAR2(100);
    BEGIN
    vROW := 1; // current row number
    FOR x IN 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F40.COUNT
    LOOP
      IF APEX_APPLICATION.G_F40(x) = 'NO' THEN
       vROW := vROW + 1; // end of the row, so move to next row
      ELSE
       // found a checkbox, so get related data
       vF01VALUE := APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(vROW); // f01 item on the same row as the checked item
       vF02VALUE := APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02(vROW); // f02 item on the same row as the checked item
      END IF;
    END LOOP;
    END;Andy

  • How do we read the values in a tiled view,in the submitted form ?

    Hi,
    I have a form, which is having a tiled view. Each row in the tiled
    view has a check box. I have to read these check box selections, once
    the page is submitted. Is there any built in mechanism in JATO to do
    this ?
    One way I know is to maintain a hidden field in the form and have a
    javascript handler to create a string to reflect the check box
    selectios and set that string as hidden field value, before submitting
    the form. On the serverside read the hidden field's value and parse
    that string to get the selections.
    Are there any other options?
    Thanks in Advance,
    syam.

    While a front panel variable is inside a loop, it's not available to other loops.
    I want to access the value of the variable in many loops.

    I am creating 4 temporary tables which are used in this report dynamically by adding the session id to this 4 table name.
    It works fine till the parameter form is displayed. I choose the parameter and run the report. When i do that it agian tries to execute before parameter form trigger (which i can't understand why it is going to before parameter form trigger).
    Kindly support
    Thanking All in anticipation.

    Hello,
    http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/topics/htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs/rwrefex/plsql/triggers/tr_before_param_form.htm
    Usage Notes
    If the Parameter Form is used on the Web, the Before Parameter Form trigger fires twice: once when the Parameter Form is displayed, and a second time when the parameters are submitted. This is because Reports Builder executes in a stateless fashion. There is no session to return to, so the Before Parameter Form trigger has to fire the second time to ensure that the parameters selected on the Parameter Form and passed on the command line are valid.

  • Symbol error when submitting form

    experiencing a symbol error when submitting form.

    Hi Gen,
    Unfortunately, the error came from a client who was submitting a form via Mac OS.  He stated that when he attempted to submit he received a symbol error.
    On another note, I did experience issues with periods (.) within another form such as 2009.01 and 2011.25.  When I downloaded the files corresponding to the numbers, it wouldn’t allow me to save it with the period (used an underscore instead).

  • Submitting form via button click

    Hi, i have a following code and it doesnt work and i dont know why
    <jsp:useBean id="pageinfo" class="zrna.PageInfo" scope="session"/>
    <jsp:setProperty name="pageinfo" property="*"/>
    <html>
    <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
         function clickEvent(form,md,wrkOn)
              form.mode.value = md;
              form.workingOn.value = wrkOn;
              form.submit();
         function m(form){return true;}
    </script>     
    </head>
    <form action="index.jsp" method=get >
         <input type="hidden" name="mode" value="">
         <input type="hidden" name="workingOn" value="">
         <input type="submit" value="Add" onclick="clickEvent(this.form,'add','Student')">
         <input type="submit" value="Alter" onclick="clickEvent(this.form,'alter','Student')">
         <input type="submit" value="Done" onclick="clickEvent(this.form,'general','')">
    </form>          
    So im trying to change jsp bean properties of pageinfo thru submiting form and it doesnt work. when button is clicked the page goes blank. What am i missing?

    is this page you posted "index.jsp"?
    Not sure offhand, but could the form submit before onclick fires? If so, change them to button types, not submit types.
    The bean has those named fields? Public get/set methods?
    Does useBean have to be this?
    <jsp:useBean id="pageinfo" class="zrna.PageInfo" scope="session">
    <jsp:setProperty name="pageinfo" property="*"/>
    </jsp:useBean>

  • Adding a checkbox to a form report

    Hi there,
    I've built a multi-item form in APEX 3.1.2, based on the following query:
    SELECT id,
           ticker,
           deal_date,
           deal_type,
           no_shares,
           price_per_share,
           commision,
           stamp_duty,
           DECODE( trade_group_id, NULL, 'N', 'Y' ) AS group_ind,
           trade_group_id
      FROM trades
    WHERE ticker = 'FXPO'
    ORDER BY trade_group_id,
              ticker,
              deal_date.
    Unfortunately, I'm not hosting an image online and can't seem to figure out how to attach one to this post, so I can't show you a picture.
    I'd like to replace the GROUP_IND value with a Checkbox in the Form Report. However, when I go to Report Attributes>Column Attributes for the GROUP_IND column, I cannot choose a Checkbox to represent that editable column in the report form. In the Tabular form Section>Display As dropdown list, a Checkbox is not given as an option. The closest thing I can find is Select List (static LOV).
    Is there any way I can include a Checkbox where I want it to be? If I can, is there any way to ensure the associated report row is highlighted after the Checkbox has been ticked?
    Cheers.
    James

  • How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

    How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

    Okay, I haven't found a way to add an extra space using Find/replace, but you might be able to add some text wrap to the check boxes that will push the text away from them.
    Open Find/Replace and click the Object tab.
    Click the Specify attributes to find button to the right of the Find Object Format: field.
    Under Basic Attributes, choose Stroke and then the Black swatch (assuming the black swatch is applied to the strokes of your check boxes). If there are no other stand-alone objects in your form with a Black stroke, this should be all you need. (If there are Black strokes on your table cells, they will be ignored.)
    Click OK
    Click the Specify attributes to change button to the right of the Change Object Format: field.
    Under Basic Attributes, choose Text Wrap & Other > Text Wrap > Type: > Wrap around bounding box (2nd button from left)
    Under Offset, set a Right offset at the distance you'd like to add (I don't know what units you use, but the 3-5 points might work for your purposes...might take some trial-and-error to get it where you want)
    Click OK
    Click Change All

  • Parameter not being set in before parameter form trigger

    I am running 10g reports over the web and have a problem with some parameters. I have a User parameter which I set in the BEFORE-PARAMETER-FORM trigger. This parameter is not displayed on the parameter form because it shouldn't ever be changed by a user. It is supposed to be displayed on the report output to show who ran the report, but it is appearing blank.
    I've found that if I physically display the parameter on the parameter form it works, but this isn't a realistic option. It looks like it gets cleared out if it isnt displayed on the parameter form. Can anyone explain why and offer any help?

    Assign value to the parameter in the After Parameter Form Trigger, not Before.

    Hi;
    Using the Free account you can view the submitted data and export it to Excel, PDF or CSV (the data is in a table format).
    Email Notifications, where an email comes to you each time someone submits the form is a paid level feature.  Another Paid level feature is "Download Response as PDF" which allows you to save/download a PDF version of the filled out form that looks like the original.
