onSubmit client script to make boolean field mandatory

[davilu]

I have a true/false field on a form that I want to make mandatory.  After reading through some posts, I came across this one, which recommended writing the following onSubmit client script:

function onSubmit() {
var value = g_form.getValue('searched_resources');
if(!value){
alert('Please check the checkbox before submitting a new HR Request');
return false;
}
}

I have UI Type set to All, but I can still submit this form without checking the checkbox.  What am i missing?  Thanks!

Hi,

Any reason for not just using a UI Policy?

hey Goran, I tried a UI Policy, but since it's true or false, it appears to always be filled in.  I know I could make a choice list field instead, but I like the look of the checkbox and am hoping that I can use an onSubmit client script to alert a user that the checkbox must be checked before submission.

You need to check !value && value=='false' in the if condition

Can you try something as below and it will work

function onSubmit() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below SpaceIsThePlace
if (g_form.getValue('searched_resources')=='false') {

alert('Please check the checkbox before submitting a new HR Request');

return false;
}
}
