JavaScript validation

[Cezar Duarte]

I have a form with a radio button and I'd like to make some text fields required if that option is checked...

I added the following snippet to my text field but I don't really know ho to test it lol

var insuranceField = this.getField("insurance").value;
var policyField = this.getField("policy").value;
if( insuranceField == "insuranceBill" && policyField == ""){
app.alert("Policy Holder Name is required");
}

Can anyone help me with this? Tks!!

Use this script as a Calculation script in the Text fields:

if (this.getField("CHECKBOX1").value != "Off") {event.target.required = true;}
else {event.target.required = false;}

JR tk u for responding.

I can't use != "OFF" because they can check a different radion button option so I added

if (this.getField("insurance").value != "insuranceBill"){
event.target.required = true;
}else {
event.target.required = false;
}

 But now the policy field has the red border on it but it doesn't go away if I select a different option in the radio button.

If you select other option red circle should go away with that script, but you have problem if neither choices is selected field will be required.

Try changing first line like this:

if (this.getField("insurance").value != "insuranceBill" && this.getField("insurance").value != "Off"){

This should make field required when other choices are selected.

Nesa,

I just noticed I checked the option "Required" by accident, that's why the red border didn't go away... so now I just added the initial snippet and there is no red border if I select the radio option I want to make policy field required or even the other options, like nothing is changing.

So the first 3 radios are names as "insurance" and the 3rd option has as a value "insuranceBill"

policy text field should be required if insuraceBill is checked.

[Nesa Nurani]

If you want it required when "insuranceBill" is checked then change  != "insuranceBill" to == "insuranceBill".

This should do the trick:

event.target.required = this.getField("insurance").value == "insuranceBill" ? true : false;
