Catalog Item - Variable Contains / Contains - Client Script

alexcharleswort · ‎10-10-2016

Hey guys,

I have a need for a string variable (tra_course0) to contain a "$" in the user's input. I can't seem to quite get the syntax right on how to get a catalog client script to read the input, search for the "$" at the beginning and if it's not included to alert them to include it. Any ideas? Ideally I want the input to START WITH the $ but if nothing else I would like it to CONTAIN the $.

Thanks in advance for you assistance!

You have a javascript method called startsWith() for this. Use that, you code will look like this

JavaScript String startsWith() Method

if(!g_form.getValue('field name').startsWith("$")){

alert("message goes here");

}
