Trying to write a switch case, Help please!

[Eric5C58]

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to write a switch case that uses an if/then statement inside it but I keep getting a Syntax error. I would like certain fields to be outlined green if Joint is selected and they aren't blank, and red if Joint is selected but they are blank. Please let me know what I am doing wrong...

switch(event.value) {case "Joint":
{
if((this.getField("LNS").value !== "") && (this.getField("FNS").value !== ""))
this.getField("LNS").strokeColor=color.green;
this.getField("FNS").strokeColor=color.green;
else if((this.getField("LNS").value == "") && (this.getField("FNS").value == ""))
this.getField("LNS").strokeColor=color.red;
this.getField("FNS").strokeColor=color.red;
};
break;

case "Individual"||"IRA"||"Entity"||"Trust"||"Individual 401K"||"Direct Business 529":

this.getField("LNS").strokeColor=color.black;
this.getField("FNS").strokeColor=color.black;
break;

default:

this.getField("LNS").strokeColor=color.black;
this.getField("FNS").strokeColor=color.black;

break;

}

Thank You Kindly!

Try this:

switch(event.value) {
case "Joint":
{
if((this.getField("LNS").value !== "") && (this.getField("FNS").value !== ""))
{
this.getField("LNS").strokeColor=color.green;
this.getField("FNS").strokeColor=color.green;
}
else if((this.getField("LNS").value == "") && (this.getField("FNS").value == ""))
{
this.getField("LNS").strokeColor=color.red;
this.getField("FNS").strokeColor=color.red;
}
};
break;

case "Individual":
case "IRA":
case "Entity":
case "Trust":
case "Individual 401K":
case"Direct Business 529":
this.getField("LNS").strokeColor=color.black;
this.getField("FNS").strokeColor=color.black;
break;

default:

this.getField("LNS").strokeColor=color.black;
this.getField("FNS").strokeColor=color.black;

break;

}

Thank you for your reply! Your changes eliminated the syntax error, but when I type something into the fields to test for not blank, the outline remains red, instead of changing to green.

Where does you use the script?

[Eric5C58]

In the Account Type Field where Joint may be selected.

[Test Screen Name]

Yes, but each field has multiple actions. It's very important to say which action you choose, for example "mouse down" or "validate". Only one will work for any given script.

[Eric5C58]

I am using the script in the custom validation section

[Bernd Alheit]

Change the selection and it will fires the script.
