Hi,

I'm new to captivate, and I am having issues with validating correct user input within text boxes. I have a textbox with no submit button. I wish to validate the text box input either on the tab key (already accompished) or on focus lost. The variable is called Text_Entry_Box_11.

Can anyone help please . It's really messing with my brain.

Hello,

Welcome to Adobe Forums.

You can create an Advanced Action and check the value of your variable (Text_Entry_Box_11) and decide the action.

Once you Advanced Action is ready, call that Advanced Action on "focus lost".

Thanks,

Vikram

Hello,

On that slide where you have your Text Entry Box, choose Execute Advanced Action for On Focust Lost.

While create an Advanced Action, you can just choose Conditional Action and check the value of variable.

You can choose "IF" and decide the action.

Hope this helps !!

Thanks,

Vikram
