Message Popup when clicking Submit button

[sbc707]

My Submit button has mailto: email address in the Action tab. When someone presses the Submit button I want a message box to popup saying something like; “Have you checked your form? Do you want to continue with the Submit? OK – CANCEL. I have tried everything and nothing works. If I use javascript which would contain my email in it would I still need to use the Submit button that has mailto: in it. I am new at this. Does anyone have javascript I can try?

If you use script to submit then you don't need it also in a button as mailto.

Take a look at the link, focus on 'Figure 4' I belive it's exactly what you ask for.

Nesa,

I tried that and got an error:
if(nRslt == 4) {

There is no need to reinvent the wheel.

As long as the fields that use the "Required" property are not all filled in, Acrobat will refuse to send the form and display a message to the user explaining why.

It's not reinventing the wheel, though. They want to display their own custom message to the user, and let them decide for themselves whether to continue or not. The required fields validation doesn't do either.

You can use this code to do it:

if (app.alert("Have you checked your form? Do you want to continue with the Submit?",2,2)==4)
this.mailDoc({cTo: "sbc707@email.com", cSubject: "Email subject line goes here", cMsg: "Email body goes here"});

You must remove all other commands associated with the button if you want it to work properly.

WOW that worked. I have been trying for days, thank you for that. The
message box popped up. When I click Yes it starts to submit and a google
box pops up saying, “Sign in with google, Continue, then nothing. And on
the form the screen turns black with a white box that says, “Waiting” we
have opened a new browser tab for you to sign in, not sure what to do,
there is nothing on the screen for me to sign in to. So frustrating.

Check your default browser. A new tab should have opened where you need to log in to your email account.

You can also add it under Edit - Preferences - Email Accounts and then it should work more smoothly.
