Hello,
I have written a script function that will highlight objects that are required field but blank. I put this function in the Click event of a Submit button. The script will highlight the objects in yellow. This way, a user will see which object/field he/she needs to complete before submit.
The problem I have is that when I open the form in Preview, it has a built-in button on the top right edge of the form viewing area. (I believe this is the same when I open the form in Acrobat.) When I turn on "Highlight fields", all the input fields are highlighted in blue and for the required fields, there will be a red border. Now, when I click my submit button, I won't see the yellow hightlight as I programmed in my script. I need to turn off the "highlight fields" first in order to see the yellow highlight.
I think this is not intuitive for users.
Is there a way to do this better? What I want to heppen is that a user does not have to turn off the "Highlight Fields" in order to see the yellow hightlight.
thanks,
Boon
