Hello,
I'm working on trying to create a button that will verify that one or the other checkbox has been checked and then would send the pdf to the email of the checked checkbox. I am very new to coding and reading online and in the forums I was able to put this javascript together but it is not working properly and I am not sure what I have done wrong. For the code I have just put in generics to show an example of what I'm trying to create:
Button Code:
//To check checkbox and send email
var cCK = this.getField("CheckBox1", "ChekcBox2").value;
if(cCK=="Off") app.alert ("app message");
else if(this.getField("CheckBox1).value=="Yes")(this.mailDoc({cTo:"email1"});}
else if(this.getField("CheckBox2).value=="Yes")(this.mailDoc({cTo:"email2"});}
The error message will pop-up even if one checkbox is checked and it won't attach the pdf to the email, any help on how to remedy this error would be appreciated!

You can do it like this:
var cCK1 = this.getField("CheckBox1").valueAsString;
var cCK2 = this.getField("CheckBox2").valueAsString;
if(cCK1=="Off"&&cCK2=="Off") app.alert ("app message");
else if(cCK1=="Yes")(this.mailDoc({cTo:"email1"});}
else if(cCK2=="Yes")(this.mailDoc({cTo:"email2"});}
What should happen if both checkboxes are "Yes"?
You were also missing second parentheses next to both field names in 'else if' lines.

Hello @JS2014C,
I haven't tested your code but I did notice a type-O
//Change this line
var cCK = this.getField("CheckBox1", "ChekcBox2").value;
//To
var cCK = this.getField("CheckBox1", "CheckBox2").value;
Regards,
Mike

Thanks for catching that, that is typo in my post (Sorry!)

It's not a typo, but a mistake. The getField method only takes one parameter.

You can only use one field name at method getField.

Thanks for that info, good to know.

Thank you so much! I was able to make this coding work and added your suggestion about what if they were both yes.
Code used:
var cCK1=this.getField(Checkbox1).valueAsString;
var cCK2=this.getField(Checkbox2).valueAsString;
if(cCK1&&cCK2=="Off")app.alert("app message");
else if(cCK1=="Yes"&&cCK2=="Yes")app.alert("app message");
else if(cCK1=="Yes")this.mailDoc({bUI:true, cTo:"email1});
else if(cCK2=="Yes")this.mailDoc({bUI:true,cTo:"email2});

You are missing quotations in both variables and at the end of both 'email' and this is error too if(cCK1&&cCK2=="Off"), it should look like this:
var cCK1=this.getField("Checkbox1").valueAsString;
var cCK2=this.getField("Checkbox2").valueAsString;
if(cCK1=="Off"&&cCK2=="Off")app.alert("app message");
else if(cCK1=="Yes"&&cCK2=="Yes")app.alert("app message");
else if(cCK1=="Yes")this.mailDoc({bUI:true, cTo:"email1"});
else if(cCK2=="Yes")this.mailDoc({bUI:true,cTo:"email2"});
