Hello All!
I have a script that is designed to scan through the form when the users submits it and make any hidden required fields un-required. However, recently after a change to the default profile (I think this was the inciting incident, I'm not entirely sure), the user has to press the submit button twice in order for the script to work.
I have absolutely no idea what's causing this, I poured over it all day, but can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Relevent code linked below:
-----------
function validateForm() {
fixNullTest( xfa.form.form1.formPage );
console.log("after fix null test");
var validationReturn = !ValidationHTML.setFocusToRequired(xfa.form.form1.formPage, null, true).bool;
console.log("after validationHTML")
console.log("validation return: " + validationReturn)
return validationReturn;
}//function
// this is called by validate form to turn off the required attributes for fields
// that are hidden
function fixNullTest( oNode ) {
if ( oNode.presence == "hidden" || oNode.presence == "invisible" )
{
turnOffNullTest( oNode );
}//if
else
{
for(var i=0; i<oNode.nodes.length; i++)
{
var oChildNode = oNode.nodes.item(i);
if ( oChildNode.className == "subform" || oChildNode.className == "exclGroup" )
{
fixNullTest( oChildNode );
}//if
else if ( oChildNode.className == "field" && (oChildNode.presence == "hidden" || oChildNode.presence == "invisible"))
{
turnOffNullTest( oChildNode );
}//else if
}//for
}//else
}//func
function turnOffNullTest( oNode )
{
//console.log("begining of turn off null test for: " + oNode.className);
switch( oNode.className )
{
case "exclGroup":
oNode.validate.nullTest = "disabled";
case "subform":
for(var i=0; i<oNode.nodes.length; i++)
{
var oChildNode = oNode.nodes.item(i);
turnOffNullTest( oChildNode );
}//for
break;
case "field":
switch (oNode.ui.oneOfChild.className)
{
case "checkButton":
case "choiceList":
case "dateTimeEdit":
case "exclGroup":
case "imageEdit":
case "numericEdit":
case "passwordEdit":
case "textEdit":
case "signature":
oNode.presence = "visible";
oNode.validate.nullTest = "disabled";
oNode.presence = "hidden";
//oNode.presence = "inactive";
//console.log("field has actually been turned off");
break;
default:
break;
}//switch
break;
}//switch
}//func
The code below this is used above, but I don't think the problem lies here. This code basically just makes the text red and sets focus, but the main issue is the form not submitting when visible fields are all completed.
//function to find required fields left empty and setting the focus on them after submit
function setFocusToRequired(oNode, found, base)
{
//console.log("Hello. In setFocusToRequired");
if (found == null)
{
found = {};
}//if
for(var i=0; i<oNode.nodes.length; i++)
{
var oChildNode = oNode.nodes.item(i);
if (oChildNode.className == "field" || oChildNode.className == "exclGroup")
{
if (oChildNode.validate.nullTest == "error" && (oChildNode.rawValue == "" || oChildNode.rawValue == null))
{
if (oNode.className == "area")
{
for (var n = oNode.index; n>=0; n--)
{
if (oNode.parent.nodes.item(n).className == "draw")
{
oNode.parent.nodes.item(n).font.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
break;
}//if
}//for
} //if
else if (oChildNode.className == "field")
{
oChildNode.caption.font.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
} //else if
else
{
for (var n = i; n>=0; n--)
{
if (oNode.nodes.item(n).className == "draw")
{
oNode.nodes.item(n).font.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
break;
}//if
}//for
}//else
if (found.field == null)
{
found.field = oChildNode;
}//if
found.bool = true;
} //if
else
{
if (oNode.className == "area")
{
for (var n = oNode.index; n>=0; n--)
{
if (oNode.parent.nodes.item(n).className == "draw")
{
oNode.parent.nodes.item(n).font.fill.color.value = "0,0,0";
break;
}//if
}//for
} //if
else if (oChildNode.className == "field")
{
oChildNode.caption.font.fill.color.value = "0,0,0";
}//else if

{
for (var n = i; n>=0; n--)
{

oNode.nodes.item(n).font.fill.color.value = "0,0,0";

if (base)
{
if (found.field != null)
{
xfa.host.messageBox("At least one required field was not completed correctly. Please fill in all required fields and try to submit again.");
xfa.host.setFocus(found.field.somExpression);
}//if

return found;
