Form level javascript code error

When you get the value of the zip code field, use valueAsString and not value. It may not make a difference in this specific case, but some zip codes have a leading zero, and using the value property will result in the variable "zip" being a number (e.g., the number 1234, not the string "01234"). Whenever comparing a field value to a string, use the valueAsString property to avoid the chance of this type of bug.

Thank you guys!! I figured it was something stupidly simple. In this particular example, the zip codes for the county don't fall exactly within a range so I just listed them all separately. For ease of read below, I removed the entire zip list but here is the code I ended up with which works perfect:

var county = this.getField("CountyDrop").value;
var zip = this.getField("RespZip").value;
if(county == "Forsyth" && (zip != "27009" && zip != "27010" && zip != "27012" ))
  // Got an error   
var nRslt = app.alert("The zip code you entered, " + zip + ", is not part of Forsyth county.\n\n Are you sure you want to continue?" ,2,2);
if(nRslt == 4) 
{  // Code printing goes here
   console.println("The response was yes")
}
  else if(nRslt == 3)
{ // No Response
  console.println("The Response Was No");
}
else   
{ //Unknown Response
  console.println("The Response Was somthing other than Yes/No: " + nRslt);
}

I have a print button at the end of this form. Before it prints, I want it to check both for missing fields and the zip/county validation (above). In both cases, I want the user to have the ability to override the warning and print anyway. Here is my code checking for missing fields.

  var patternEmpty = /^\s*$/;
  var strMissing = "";
  if(patternEmpty.test(this.getField("PetName").value))
     strMissing = "petitioner's name";
  else if(patternEmpty.test(this.getField("BIRTHDATE").value))
     strMissing = "patient's date of birth";
  else if(patternEmpty.test(this.getField("NAME OF RESPONDENT").value))
     strMissing = "patient's name";
  else if(patternEmpty.test(this.getField("RespAddr1").value))
     strMissing = "patient's full address";
  else if(patternEmpty.test(this.getField("RespCity").value))
     strMissing = "patient's full address (city)";
  else if(patternEmpty.test(this.getField("RespState").value))
     strMissing = "patient's full address (state)"
  else if(patternEmpty.test(this.getField("Assessment").value))
     strMissing = "assessment section"
  else if(patternEmpty.test(this.getField("SEX").value))
     strMissing = "patient's sex";
  else if(patternEmpty.test(this.getField("RACE").value))
     strMissing = "patient's race";
  else if(patternEmpty.test(this.getField("at").value))
     strMissing = "time of exam";
  else if(patternEmpty.test(this.getField("ImpressionDiagnosis").value))
     strMissing = "patient's diagnosis";
   else
    {// Form must have been completed
console.println("All fields completed");  
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.full;
pp.printRange=[[1,4],[10,10]]
this.print(pp);
  }
  if(strMissing.length)
  {// Got an error
     var nRtn = app.alert("The " + strMissing + " is missing.\n\n Are you sure you want to print it anyway?" ,2,2);
  }
if(nRtn == 4)
{// A yes Response
  var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.full;
pp.printRange=[[1,4],[10,10]]
this.print(pp);
  console.println("The Response Was Yes - print anyway");
}
else if(nRtn == 3)
{ // No Response
  console.println("The Response Was No");
}
else   
{ //Unknown Response
  console.println("The Response Was somthing other than Yes/No: " + nRtn);
}
else   
{ //Unknown Response
  console.println("The Response Was somthing other than Yes/No: " + nRtn);
}

There is something not quite right about the code above because sometimes (and only sometimes), when the form is submitted for printing, it tries to print it twice. Meaning, I can cancel out of the print box, but it pops right back up. Obviously, it's moving down the script and at the end, the console shows:

All fields completed

The Response Was Yes - print anyway

Can you guys please help me identify the error in the code above? I have spent hours looking through forums and Javascript for Acrobat API Reference without luck. Also, I have one idea but I also haven't seen any examples of how to combine these two codes so that they are both checked and may both be overridden to final goal of print. I really appreciate the help! I have struggled through over 1000 lines of javascript in the entire document and this is the very last issue, haha.

It might be because you are logically ORing the value of the zip code to not be 27101 OR 27102 which will always be true because if the zip code is 27101 it will not be equal to 27102 and vice a versa and that combination will always be true and then if the zip code is some other value it will be true. You might want to try a logical AND.

You can always write the values and the results of the test to the JavaScript console and observe what is happening.

Try the following script and observe what is displayed.

var county = this.getField("CountyDrop").value;

var zip= this.getField("RespZip").value;

if(county == "Forsyth" && (zip != "27101" && zip != "27102"))

  {// Got an error

     app.alert("The zip code you entered is not part of Forsyth county");

  }

// some debugging information

console.show();

console.clear();

console.println("County: " + county);

console.println("Zip code: " + zip);

console.println("zip != \"27101\" || zip != \"27102\") " + String(zip != "27101" || zip != "27102"));

console.println("zip != \"27101\" && zip != \"27102\") " + String(zip != "27101" && zip != "27102"));

You can also use ranges of values in your script so you might not have to list all the individual zip codes.

Use zip != "27101" && zip != "27202"
