Help Please-Validate User Input is Specific Number

if (event.value==0 || event.value==1 || event.value==4 || event.value==7) {
// all is well
} else {
app.alert("Invalid value.");
event.rc = false; // prevent the user from entering this value
}

try67, thanks for the help. It worked perfectly. I had been attempting to do same with if else statements and could not get syntax correct. This is much easier. Is there a guide somewhere that can provide a list of commands and their function for future reference?

You could also use the not operator and the and operator:

if (event.value != 0 & event.value != 1 & event.value != 4 & event.value != 7) {
app.alert("Invalid value.");
event.rc = false; // prevent the user from entering this value
}

I like this tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp

Hello All,
I found this post which is accomplishing something like I'm trying to do.
I have multiple if statements for a user filled textfield, which then populates two fields.

if (xfa.event.newText.toUpperCase() == "00")

{TextField_1.rawValue = "Value1"

{TextField_Left.rawValue = "00"
}
}

if (xfa.event.newText.toUpperCase() == "01")

{TextField_1.rawValue = "Value2"

I have if statements from a value of "00" through "99". We don't use "21" for instance. I have maybe 30 instances of numbers we don't use. Is there a way, app.alert or something similar, that would display a message
"Not Applicable" for any user input that I haven't made an if statement for, or do I have to list them indidually as shown here? Preferably, I would like to display "Not Applicable" in Textfield1.

Thanks in advance
Larry Montee

{TextField_Left.rawValue = "01"
}
}

I would look at using the switch statement. Evaluates an expression, matching the expression's value to a case label, and executes statements associated with that case. Anything unprocessed gets the 'default' processing block of code.switch((xfa.event.newText.toUpperCase()) {
case "00":
TextField_1.rawValue = "Value1"
TextField_Left.rawValue = "00"
break; // end 00
case "01":
TextField_1.rawValue = "Value2"
TextField_Left.rawValue = "01"
break; // end 01
// all other case values for newText to be processed
case "99":
TextField_1.rawValue = "Value100"
TextField_Left.rawValue = "98"
break; // end 99

default:
// any values not already processed end up here
xfa.host.messageBox(Concat("Uknown newText value: ",xfa.event.newText), "Unknown Value", 1, 0)
TextField_1.rawValue = "Not Applicable"
break; // end all others values not porcessed
} // end switch

Thanks for your help George,

I neglected to mention that the textfield this is in has an autotab command first and this is most likely
causing this not to work. Most likely a syntax error on my part, ( I'm very new at this and unexperienced.)
Here is my actual code with your suggestion entered:

Thanks again for your help. Note I'm using LiveCycle ES2 if that makes a difference?

form1.#subform[0].TextField_GG::change - (JavaScript, client)



var temp = xfa.event.newText;

if (temp.length == 2){

xfa.host.setFocus("TextField_H")

}


switch((xfa.event.newText.toUpperCase()) {

case "00":
TextField_Pumper_Outlets.rawValue = "4 Inch NST Thread"
GG_Left.rawValue = "00"
break; // end 00

case "01":
TextField_Pumper_Outlets.rawValue = "4.5 Inch NST Thread"
GG_Left.rawValue = "01"
break; // end 01

default:
// any values not already processed end up here
xfa.host.messageBox(Concat("Uknown newText value: ",xfa.event.newText), "Unknown Value", 1, 0)
TextField_Pumper_Outlets.rawValue = "Not Applicable"
break; // end all others values not porcessed
} // end switch
