Pop Up with yes/no question AFTER a text field has reached its character limit

[Preston5FCD]

Hello,

I am pretty sure this is some intensive code so apologies in advance.  I am trying to have a pop-up appear with a yes/no question after a text field has reached its max character limit; depending on how the question is answered, I'll also need to set the focus to another text field.  

For example: I'll have the user fill in a Zip Code.  Immediatley after that, I want a pop-up to appear that asks if the user has a different mailing address.  If the user selects yes, there is a readied field (outside of the pop-up)  that I would like the focus to go to titled: Street Address.  If the user selects no, I would like the focus to go to a field titled: Agent ID.

You can use this code as the field's custom Keystroke script:

if (event.fieldFull) {
	if (app.alert("Do you have a different mailing address?",2,2)==4) this.getField("Street Address").setFocus();
	else this.getField("Agent ID").setFocus();
}

That is exactly what I want to happen!  Thank you!  The only issue is that it doesn't pop-up when the Zip Code field is filled, only if you try to exceed it.  Any solutions for that?

Change the first line to:

if (AFMergeChange(event).length==event.target.charLimit) {

The code will "disappear" after you enter it, but will still work.

However, when the dialog appears the last character entered will not be visible. I have yet to find a way around that...

EDIT: one more quick question, would it be possible to have the pop up appear on a tab action instead of trying to do it off a character limit?  

I am happy with how it works, but just so you know what I am seeing (in case I did something wrong), the pop-up appears as I type in the fifth character of the zip code (so character limit is reached).  At that point, the last character of the zip code does not appear, but when I select yes, it fills in the last character and the pop-up reappears instantanously.  I select yes again, and then the zip code remains filled and it takes me to the intended address field.  If I select no, it no longer takes me to the agent ID field.  

Honestly though, this is all that I wanted.  I super appreciate your time and help!

Did you have in mind something like this: video example. 

If you are still interested in this send me PM.

No.  So the the Zip Code is in a section with an address so I don't want a pop-up to appear before the Zip Code is filled.  I wanted the completion of the Zip Code field to trigger a the pop-up.  See below (I have changed the field names since first posting this.)

You can use pop-up "on blur" when you enter zip and exit field dialog will pop-up.

[Preston5FCD]

Can you explain that with coding by chance?

[Asim123]

I Just read your posts and it seems you  want the pop-up when  you enter Zip code, so I don't belive you would like "on blur" since it requires you to click outside the field once you enter address. In a dialog box ( like one from Nesa) you can ask her to add extra fields so you input entire adress not just zip code, I belive that would be good option, or you can just use "on blur" and click outside the field once you'r done. 🙂

I think that will be very confusing for the user. If you want to use a dialog object then you should trigger it via a button field and populate the value into a (read-only) text field, not have it triggered by the text field itself.

[Asim123]

Yes that would be better, but I think he just complicate his forms for nothing, I mean how hard it is to move mouse to a field and click on it. 🙂

It's not doing that for me. Beside the last character not appearing when the dialog opens it works perfectly for me...
