I have put a javascript code on a button to email a form. The script is as follows:

var oDoc = event.target;
oDoc.mailDoc({
bUI: false,
cTo: "pnf [at] jeffersonregional [dot] com" ,
cBcc: "renee [dot] holtzman [at] jeffersonregional [dot] com; janice [dot] lenz [at] jeffersonregional [dot] com" ,
cSubject: " " + LastName.rawValue + ", " + FirstName.rawValue + " : Reason - " + ReasonforChg.rawValue + " "
})

How can I modify the script so that when the user clicks it an email is sent without launching an email window?

Also, how can I add validation script before the email is sent to tell the user that required information is missing and how and where would I add this script?

Hmm well lets see not very familiar with javascript so ill try to help you with the other half.

There are several ways to do a validation script but first tell me are you wishing to check if there empty or if they have entered something dumb into the field?

While its possible to create a presubmit instead im going to walk you through doing a validation of empty fields on your click event and work your print script into it.

Edit
Sample

I dont know what I was thinking.

That would check to see if there empty
if they == "" which represents nothing.

If they equal nothing the requirement
to email is not met, but if they = something
other then nothing they have met the requirement
to email and thus the email script is launched.

Again I used form calc in my sample so your going
to have to write it for javascript.

Cheers

Update == doesn't work in formcalc in if statements use

if (TextField1==Null) then
xfa.host.messageBox("boo",0,1)
//elseif
else
xfa.host.print(1, "0", "0", 0, 1, 0, 0, 0)
endif

I think I am missing something. What is the hiddenTextField? Do I need to put this script in a textfield?

Create a TextField called hiddenTextField and give it the properties of invisible

Put the script I showed you on your print button under a click event.

Im sorry I should have been more thorough with my answer im sorry..

If you need me to ill go more into what the script does and why it works, ill gladly go into more detail, I do have this post subscribed so ill be watching.

I'm afraid I'm going to need a little more to go on, especially when you talk about a print button. Thanks!

Okay I just figured out your not the person who created the first post so my references to his post are invalid.

Since you dont have that requirement for javascript ill make you a sample to look at for use in Form calc ill be done shortly I promise.

http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B-drzn5llddGY2RlY2NiYjUtMzNhZi00ZmY2LWFjMDQtOTMwOWZmNWIxZDUz&hl=enI would have assumed adobe's sharing site would have worked hopefully google is
fall back to.
