to restrict onchange client script to work when form loads

[tanz]

i have a catalog form with field x - which has some onload client script which sets the value to xyz. Now i want to run an onchange client which should throw an alert if any other value is entered other then xyz. so next time when i change the variable it should throw that alert not during the time form loads. Now it is throwing the alert the first time only when form loads

Hello @tanz ,

Does your catalog client script contain below line of code before your onChange logic?

if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
      return;
}

 Hope it helps.

Here's the pseudocode for the answer I provided to your same question yesterday

onLoad Catalog Client Script - you must/should be doing something like this already:

1. call a Script Include via GlideAjax, passing a value from the client/form if necessary.
2. in the callback function, set the value of the variable to the answer received from the server.

onChange Catalog Client Script:

1. call the same Script Include via GlideAjax, passing a value from the client/form if necessary.
2. in the callback function, if the answer received from the server is not the same as the newValue, then alert..
