Below is my script for a quick test catalog item. I am trying to stop the catalog item from submitting if the Default App is set to "-- None --", but I can't figure out how to check for that value. can anyone help me figure out what value -- None -- holds in a select box? Is it null, undefined, or empty? And, aren't all of those options picked up by .nil?
For the following snippet, I have tried the following combinations to get app to be checked. None of these are working for me.
- (!app)
- (app.nil())
- JSUtils.nil(app)
//Only if the company is empty and they checked more than value of count the order is cancelled. otherwise pass it through
if ((!app) && (numTrue > count || numTrue === 0)) {
answer = false;
} else {
answer = true;
}

//Client Requirement: If they pick more than 1, we want to know which one is their default. And we'll have them type it in, if they haven't already. If default company is filled in - then proceed.
function onSubmit(){
//Set the mandatory checkbox variable names and total mandatory count here
var mandatoryVars = 'reader,lotus,ppt,visio';
var mandatoryCount = 1;
var passed = forceMandatoryCheckboxes(mandatoryVars, mandatoryCount);
if(!passed){
//Abort the submit
g_form.showFieldMsg('app_default','Please type in your default company.','error');
field='app_default';
var fieldToFocus = g_form.getControl(field);
fieldToFocus.focus();
return false;
}
}
function forceMandatoryCheckboxes(mandatory, count){
//Split the mandatory variable names into an array
mandatory = mandatory.split(',');
var answer = false;
var varFound = false;
var numTrue = 0;
var app = g_form.getValue('app_default');
//Check each variable in the array
for(x=0;x<mandatory.length;x++){
//Check to see if variable exists
if(g_form.getControl(mandatory[x])){
varFound = true;
//Check to see if variable is set to 'true'
if(g_form.getValue(mandatory[x]) == 'true'){
numTrue ++;
//Exit the loop if we have reached required number of 'true'
if(numTrue > count){
answer = true;
break;
}
}
}
}
alert('You selected ' + numTrue + ' options.');
alert('You chose a default company of ' + app);
//Only if the company is empty and they checked more than value of count the order is cancelled. otherwise pass it through
