Field message disappearing when clicking on form

[matthew_hughes]

I've created the following client script to show a field message on a form:

When the form loads, it appears:

However, if I click on any part of the form, it disappears:

I was just wondering if someone could explain what I'm doing wrong and how I keep the field message appearing.

@Ankur Bawiskar  In fact, it just works with the onChange client script without the needs for onload client script:

Could I just use the one client script or would I need to use both?

@matthew_hughes 

yes remove onLoad in that case

Hi @matthew_hughes To achieve you can use onChange client script and select the action variable and comment out the return so that the script will run on both onLoad and Onchage and write your showFieldMessage method.

Please mark helpful if it solves your query
