How to set focus on mandatory fields if they are not filled?

[GV Saranesh Kum]

Hi all,

I observed, if mandatory fields are not filled and we try to submit the form, it gives the prompt window, stating 'the below are fields are mandatory: fieldname1, fieldname2..". Once we click OK, it sets the focus (cursor) on the unfilled mandatory field. This functionality works only if the field appear on the form, if the field is in section, it doesn't. Any suggestion how to achieve it.

Also as mentioned fieldname1, field name2 on the prompt message, they do not follow any order (i am expecting they should be in the order they were placed on the form).

kindly help.

Regards,

Saranesh.

Unfortunately this kind of script is not accessible for mortals like us   SNOW are the only ones that can change this kind of functions. In order to find it, you have to use the developer tools on your browser (I pasted the original name),

Hi,

Use it as per your req.

if(g_form.getValue('fieldName') != ""){



                                 g_form.getControl('fieldName').focus();

                               return false;



               }
