Client script to show an alert at certain choice list value?

[eliana_wise]

Hi,

I have wrote the onChange client script that I want an alert to pop up when the data protection type is   US, and apparently it doesn'y work. Can some one advise me on this?

Thanks

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate){

    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

          return;

    }

var dtype = g_form.getValue('u_data_protection_type')   ;

if (dtype == 'u_dp_us' ) {

alert('Test');}}

Can you try

if (dtype.toString() == 'u_dp_us' )

Also check conditions on client script. It should be "onChange" field "u_data_protection_type"

Thanks.

first cheeck what the variable is having value by updating the script like below:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate){

    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

          return;

    }

var dtype = g_form.getValue('u_data_protection_type')   ;

alert(dtype );

if (dtype == 'u_dp_us' ) {

alert('Test');}

}

Thanks,

Hi Arindam,

Thanks for your reply, this worked, but instead of me message it is showing a sys_id.

You can use the below script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate){

    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

          return;

    }

var dtype = g_form.getValue('u_data_protection_type')   ;

if (dtype == 'sys_id' ) { // Replace sys_id with the sys id that you got.

alert('Test');}

}
