hi folks,

can u tell me why message box doesn't show the message per java script anymore? The problem is following, i have:
- number of defined msgs in script section
- checking plausibility each field and showing error msg at run time, i. g.
xfa.host.messagebox(msg, "Error", 1);
Before updating adobe prof. 8.0 to 8.1 my scripts worked fine but now. The message box appears, but without the error msg, why?

Searching after mistake(s) on my script, i didnt find anything. And it worked before very well.

It'd be nice, if u could tell me why?

Thanks i. a!

Should look like

Reference_Syntax.messageBox( STRING param1 [, STRING param2 [, INTEGER param3
[, INTEGER param4 ] ] ] )

for example
xfa.host.messageBox("Error",1,0);

you used [b]messagebox[/b] not [b]messagBox[/b]

hi radzmar,

thanks for your help!

the mistake i wrote you can ignore, because of auto correction in livecycle designer. My problem is now whereelse:

There are numbers of predefined vars u. a. in my form script object. You can't see the msg text because of not finding reference to the script object.

Trying in enter-event: xfa.host.messageBox(scriptObjID.msgVar, "Error", 1); you will get "undefined" as return value.

Could you tell me why? Again, searching after input misstake(s) I didn't find anything!

SU!!!

Hmm,

I created a script object with name "ID" and defined a variable "Error1" with...

var Error1 = "This is an error message";

Then I put the following script into the enter event of a field...

xfa.host.messageBox(ID.Error1, "Error", 1);

Works!
