BONUS GIFT FROM RADZMAR...

Hi everyone,

Radzmar posted a great bonus on the JavaScript forum, but it works just as well in LiveCycle, so I thought I'd share the link.

It's a JavaScript list of special character codes that you can use to enhance the look of your 'messageBox' displays. I used it myself today and it makes the messages look much more professional.

Here's what I did:
xfa.host.messageBox("This 'h' value field can only:\r \7 be left empty, \r \7 have a value of 0, or \r \7 have an 'h' range value of between " + HazMin.rawValue + " and " + HazMax.rawValue + " (incl.). \r Please re-enter.","Incorrect Hazard ('h') factor",3);

It's a big line of code I know, but it produces a message with new lines and bullet points and looks much clearer than just a big line of text. Although from memory the bullet code '\7' can only be used with Vista. If you want to try out the one I've done above just to see, replace the fieldnames with actual numbers, so:

xfa.host.messageBox("This 'h' value field can only:\r \7 be left empty, \r \7 have a value of 0, or \r \7 have an 'h' range value of between 10 and 100 (incl.). \r Please re-enter.","Incorrect Hazard ('h') factor",3);

And if you're not using Vista, I think it will just ignore the \7.

But, it's still a handy thing to create a more professional looking result.
Thanks Radzmar
