Enhancing JavaScript code for Quick Navigation to Empty Fields
I've a code snippet to pinpoint empty fields within a lengthy form. Ideally, the script sholuld guides me directly to the first blank field. But, if this proves challenging, I'd like it to provide the page number and the information from the tooltip associated with the empty field. My intention is to populate the tooltip with brief descriptions, facilitating rapid identification for users. While the current script effectively notifies me of empty fields names, I seek improvements: displaying the tooltip text instead of the field name and accurately identifying the page numbers, instead of zeros.
Thank you
This is the code:
var emptyFields = [];
var currentPage = this.pageNum;
for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
var f = this.getField(fname);
if (f.type !== "button" && f.required === true) {
if (f.value === "" || f.value === "Off") {
var pageNum = getPageNumForField(f); // Call the function to get page number
var tooltip = f.tooltip;
if (tooltip) {
var tooltipInfo = "Page " + pageNum + ": " + tooltip;
emptyFields.push(tooltipInfo);
} else {
emptyFields.push("Page " + pageNum + ": " + "Field " + f.name);
}
}
}
}
if (emptyFields.length > 0) {
var message = "Please fill in the following required field(s):\n\n" + emptyFields.join("\n");
// Use a timeout to delay the alert
app.setTimeOut(function() {
app.alert({
cMsg: message,
cTitle: "Required Fields Check",
nIcon: 3, // Optional: set icon type (3 for warning icon)
nType: 0 // Optional: set type to OK button only
});
// Restore the original page number after the alert
this.pageNum = currentPage;
}.bind(this), 10); // Bind 'this' to ensure the correct context
}
function getPageNumForField(field) {
var page = field.page;
return page + 1; // Add 1 to convert from 0-based indexing
}
/*
function getPageNumForField(field) {
var page = field.page;
if (typeof page === 'number' && !isNaN(page)) { // Check if page is a valid number
return page + 1; // Add 1 for 1-based indexing (if applicable)
} else {
return "N/A"; // Return a placeholder for invalid page numbers
}
}

So instad of fields names I want to use the text in Tooltip, and we can ignore to use the real page number

Thank you
