How to restrict a form to be submitted in JavaScript?

[Siddartha Gudim]

Use can make use of onsubmit client script on the form to restrict for subitting

EG:

function onSubmit() {

alert(g_form.getValue('ad_domain')); //To make sure value is YES. This is just for tesiting purpose.

    if(g_form.getValue('ad_domain') == 'YES'){

    if(g_form.getValue(user_confirm') == 'false' ){

    alert('Please be sure to check the box before submitting a ticket.');

    return false;

  }

  }

}

Please like or mark correct based on the impact of the response.

You can restrict the form submission, through onSubmit Client Scripts/ Business Rules.

onSubmit client scripts:

1. function onSubmit() {      
2.   if(g_form.getValue('ad_domain') == 'YES' || g_form.getValue('ad_domain') == 'YESb' && g_form.getValue('question_choice') == 'incorrect info' ) //assuming values are YES and YESb    
3.   {      
4.             if(g_form.getValue('user_confirm') == 'false' ){      
5.                   var result = confirm('Are you sure you wish to submit?');//or whatever that checkbox is for  
6.                   if (result) {  
7.                             g_form.setValue('checkbox', true);  
8.                   else  
9.                           return false;   //Here return false will stop the submission of the form.
10.             }      
11.   }      
12. }    

Business Rules:

1. (function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {  
2. ....    
3.   if (<condition to prevent delete>) {  
4.   gs.addErrorMessage(gs.getMessage("You cannot delete a task where users have logged time against the task."));  
5.   current.setAbortAction(true);     //setAbortAction will prevent the data to be inserted/updated
6.   }  
7. })(current, previous);
