Need client script for validating at least one field is filled in when one field type is a reference and the other is a single line text field

[jodyklitzke]

I'm currently trying to create a script for validating at least one field is filled on a catalog item.   One field is a reference field and the other is a single line text field.   Here is the script that I'm using:

function onSubmit() {

  if (smcstm_fairview_charge_department == 'NULL' && smcstm_ump_charge_string == '') {

  alert('You must fill in the department code');

  return false;

  }

}

For some reason, it's stopping me from submitting the record.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello Jody,

You need to fetch the input value at client side as

g_form.getValue('PASS NAME OF THE CATALOG VARIABLE HERE');

Hi Jody,

function onSubmit() {

var test = g_form.getValue('<your reference field>');

if(test=='')

{

return false;

}   }

Hello Jody,

Replace your script with the below script and let me know the outcome.

function onSubmit() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   var chgDep = g_form.getValue('smcstm_fairview_charge_department');
   var umpStg = g_form.getValue('smcstm_ump_charge_string');
   if(!chgDep && !umpStg)
   {
   alert('You must fill in the department code');
   return false;
   }
}
