Check to see if any field is empty

This script is perfect for me.

I have one question. It looks like the fields are listed in alphabetical order. It would be better for me if they were listed in tab order. Is that possible?

Hi try67, I have used your script below and it works perfectly, I am however looking to see if it is possible to return the page number that the empty fields are on, is that possible?

Hi,

Now the pop-up message shows the “Name” field,  could you help to add the content in the field name “Tooltip” in the pop-up message, please. We would like to show the content in the tooltip field using Cyrilic letters.

Tahnk you in advance.

Hey,

I m using the code with the emptyfield but I would like to apply it for only specific pages without using textfield names . Is it possible to extract the page number and add a "if" to the code?

I've been searching for this script. THANK YOU GILIAD. 

try67:

Your code (listed below for convenience) doesn't account for if the button including this javascript is also required. How can you modify this code for a checkbox button that's used to execute the javascript to be left "unchecked" or "off" if any required fields are blank/off?

This was the code you had previously posted:

var emptyFields = [];
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
if (f.type!="button" && f.required ) {
if ((f.type=="text" && f.value=="") || (f.type=="checkbox" && f.value=="Off"))

f.strokeColor = color.red; //Highlights the required fields in red

emptyFields.push(f.name);
}
}

if (emptyFields.length>0) {
app.alert("Error! You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));
}

Hi,

Tried to copy this code but can't seem to make it work for me.  I have a PDF form that needs to be completed and reviewed by 3 departments, each section is signed and dated.  I have required fields that are text and the other is date.  I added this code into a button to validate prior to signing.  I also want to hide the signature option until required fields are completed.  If you could please help me with this I would be really really grateful.

thanks in advance!

My bad on the caps. I was in the middle of data entries in my spreadsheets.

A couple of questions on this. Let me know if I should be posting new threads for each.

• I added the f.strokeColor = color.red; command to the script and it works great. But how do I reset it to go back and continue working on my document without them?
• I want the code to check my required dropdown boxes and highlight them as well. Here was my attempt:
  • if ((f.type=="text" && f.value==""&& f.value !== 0) || (f.type=="checkbox" && f.value=="Off") || (f.type=="dropdown" && f.value==""))
  • My dropdowns have a default option of a space since blank is not an option
  • I added a custom calculation so that a space value would be converted to no value:
    • if (event.value == " ") event.value = "";

Here is my full code in case that is helpful:

var emptyFields = [];

for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {

     var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));

     if (f.type!="button" && f.required && f.display==display.visible) {

          if ((f.type=="text" && f.value==""&& f.value !== 0) || (f.type=="checkbox" && f.value=="Off") || (f.type=="dropdown" && f.value==""))

f.strokeColor = color.red;

emptyFields.push(f.name);

     }

}

if (emptyFields.length>0) {

     app.alert("You must complete the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));

}

Thanks in advance!

try67,

This code works great for me but the button I'm using to check if all fields have been completed is a signature box.  When I click on it with missing fields, it definitely pops up what fields are missing but the signature window pops up after I click ok.  I'm trying to prevent the user from signing the document until all fields have been filled in.
