CFwindow validation on Checkbox

Oct 24, 2010 1:55 PM

I am trying to validate records based on the onclick event of a Checkbox or change event of a select option, for some reason this is not working in a cfwindow.

 

This is my form. can some please tell me what I did wrong here. The javascript is not even being called in a CFWINDOW.

 

<input type="checkbox" name="ccSameddress" value="shipsame" onclick="return sameinfo();">and below is my script:

 

<script language="JavaScript">
function sameinfo()
{
var d = document.cbfoundation;       
    if (d.chkSameddress.checked==true)
    {
        d.shipFName.value=d.bccFname.value;       
        d.shipLName.value=d.bccLname.value;       
        d.shipAddr1.value=d.bccAddr.value;   
    }
    if (d.chkSameddress.checked==false){
        d.shipFName.disabled=false;
        d.shipLName.disabled=false;
        d.shipAddr1.disabled=false;       
    }   
}
</script>

    Troubleshooting js is tedious.  The way I do it is by using window.alerts to show the value of the variables that matter.  Also, before concluding that the javascript is not being called at all, I suggest

    window.alert("blah");

    as the first line of your function.  Then you'll know if the function was called.

     

    It may or may not matter, but I always have return statements in my functions.

    Dan,

     

    It works as a stand alone page. but when the form is called as a CFWINDOW it does not work. Was just wondering if some one has experienced this before and how they were able to solve the problem.

    Problem solved.

    I had to create a blank page and called the CFWINDOW page as an IFRAME, and now the validation is workinng.

    There has to be a bug with the way CFWINDOW handles some events. I also noticed you can not upload a file in CFWINDOW.

    I hope Adobe is aware of these little quacks with CFWINDOW
