Hello, I am trying to find a JavaScript code that allows me to count the numbers of text fields that have contents in them.

 

I was able to do it for check boxes using the following code:

Var sum = 0;

for (var i = 1; i < 70; i +=) {

if (getField("V" + i).value == "Yes") {sum += 1}

 

event.value = sum;

 

}

Hi,

 

Assuming the naming is something similar that enables you to loop through them then you can check the contents by calling:

if (this.getField("T" + i).value != "") { sumText += 1}

 

i have assumed the text fields are call T1, T2, T3, etc. respond to this if they are not?

You can use this script:

 

var total = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
var oFld = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
if ((oFld.type == "text") && (oFld.value != "")) {
total = total +1;
}}
console.clear();
console.show();
console.println("Total: " +total);

      Thank you so much! Your answer helped me solve the issue. Below is the final look of the script that finally worked.

      var sum = 0;
var sumText = 0; 
for (var i = 1; i < 150; i += 1) {

    if (getField("V" + i).value == "Yes") {sum += 1}
    if (this.getField("A" + i).value != "") {sumText += 1}

event.value = sum/sumText*100;

}
