hi

I have a pdf form that have a button, a inputText and two check box, when i push the button fires a javascript to validate if one of the check box is on then the input text dont have to be empty, is a very simple example.

When i open my form with Adobe 9 it works fine the javascript makes the validation but when i open my form in a web browser it dont works.

this is the script that i use, it is inside of my form and de action of my button calls it

"function validate() {"
+ "var married = this.getField('married');"
+ "var partner = this.getField('partner');"
+ "if (married.value == 'yes' && partner.value == '') {"
+ "app.alert('please enter the name of your partner');"
+" }");
I hope you can help me.

Regards

Is the value of the 'married' check box 'yes' or 'Yes'?

It appears you do not have matching braces for the function definition. The line "});" appears to terminate your 'if' statement and 'function' definition. Also a function definition does not end with a semi-colon.

function validate() {var married = this.getField('married');var partner = this.getField('partner');if (married.value.toLowerCase() == 'yes' && partner.value == '') {app.alert('please enter the name of your partner');} // end if (married.value == 'yes' && partner.value == '') return;} // end of validate function
