Help required with addition in a Client Script

[arnabbose]

Hi Experts,

I am trying to do a wright% validation on my form with below Client Script. If total weight is more or less than 100% ; alert should throw.

function onSubmit() {

  //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

  process_req_type();

  function process_req_type(){

  var w1=g_form.getValue('weight');

  alert(w1);

  var w2=g_form.getValue('weight_1');

  alert(w2);

  var w3=g_form.getValue('weight_3');

  var w4=g_form.getValue('weight_4');

  var w5=g_form.getValue('weight_5');

  var w6=g_form.getValue('weight_6');

  var w7=g_form.getValue('weight_7');

  var w8=g_form.getValue('weight_8');

  var w9=g_form.getValue('weight_9');

  var w10=g_form.getValue('weight_10');

  var w = (w1+w2+w3+w4+w5+w6+w7+w8+w9+w10);

  alert(w);

  if ( w == 100)

  {

  g_form.setValue ('total_weight', Math.round(w));

  }

  else {

  alert ("Total weight% cannot be less or more than 100% , please re-enter values");

  g_form.setValue ('total_weight', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_1', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_3', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_4', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_5', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_6', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_7', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_8', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_9', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_10', "");

  return false;

  }

  }

}

The issue is that the addition is not happening and w is stroing concatenated values from variables w1 , w2, w3 etc.

For example, I put 50 in w 1 and w2 -- instead of 100 , w holds 5050.

Please help me resolve this!!!

You need to convert them to integers using parseInt() - a standard JavaScript method.

var w3 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('weight_3'), 10);

// For all variables.

But they are already integer fields Chuck! Still do I have to do that?

I am getting right alert for w1 / w2

Also, the issue is not with variables , the issue is with the addition and storing in w

var w = (w1+w2+w3+w4+w5+w6+w7+w8+w9+w10);

Please advise!

[Chuck Tomasi]

Yes. Either way you need to get strings converted to integers. getValue() is interesting when it comes to non-string values.

Below is my script now; I am getting a NaN alert and its not working!

function onSubmit() {

  //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

  process_req_type();

  function process_req_type(){

  var w1 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('weight'), 10);

  var w2 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('weight_1'), 10);

  var w3 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('weight_3'), 10);

  var w4 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('weight_4'), 10);

  var w5 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('weight_5'), 10);

  var w6 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('weight_6'), 10);

  var w7 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('weight_7'), 10);

  var w8 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('weight_8'), 10);

  var w9 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('weight_9'), 10);

  var w10 = parseInt(g_form.getValue('weight_10'), 10);

  var w = parseInt(w1)+parseInt(w2)+parseInt(w3)+parseInt(w4)+parseInt(w5)+parseInt(w6)+parseInt(w7)+parseInt(w8)+parseInt(w9)+parseInt(w10);

  alert(w);

  if ( w == 100)

  {

  g_form.setValue ('total_weight', Math.round(w));

  }

  else {

  alert ("Total weight% cannot be less or more than 100% , please re-enter values");

  g_form.setValue ('total_weight', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_1', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_3', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_4', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_5', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_6', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_7', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_8', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_9', "");

  g_form.setValue ('weight_10', "");

  return false;

  }

  }
