Making textField required when checkbox is ticked

Yes one can. You may also want to make the field read only and cleared when the 'No' option is selected. One would need to place the following code in the "Mouse Up" action for the "Yes" and "No" options of the radio button. The only value that needs to be changed is the text field's name.

var oTextField = this.getField("If_yes_what");

if(this.getField(event.target.name).value == "Yes") {

oTextField.readonly = false; // clear readonly;

oTextField.required = true; // make required;

oTextField.setFocus(); // move to text field;

} else {

oTextField.readonly = true; // set to readonly

oTextField.value = ""; // clear field;

oTextField.required = false; // clear required;

}

It could be made more universal and apply to all the radio button/text field combinations by creating a document level function of:

function MakeRequired(cTextField) {

var oTextField = this.getField(cTextField);

if(this.getField(event.target.name).value == "Yes") {

oTextField.readonly = false; // clear readonly;

oTextField.required = true; // make required;

oTextField.setFocus(); // move to text field;

} else {

oTextField.readonly = true; // set to readonly

oTextField.value = ""; // clear field;

oTextField.required = false; // clear required;

}

return true

}

and then call that function for each pair of radio buttons in the "Mouse Up" action with the following script and changing the function's parameter to the text field's name.

MakeRequired("If_yes_what");

All the above would also apply to check boxes.

Sorry it took me so long to respond to your reply but I had to look up how to change export value.  The export value is already set to "on"
