If text field if blank, skip

[darwinsm]

Hi,

I am working on a PDF form when the send button is clicked, certain information is transferred to the body of the email. What I am having issues or can't figure out is, if I have a blank text box or selection, I want it to be skipped and not transferred to the body of the email. The name of the text boxes are 1.OM 2. BOV 3. Blast. The input will be placed after ".getField("Document Orientation") the code is below:

// JavaScript Document

{
   var cToAddr = this.getField("designer").value;

   // Set the subject line
   var cSubLine = "Graphic Request" + " " + this.getField("Project Name").value;

    //this is what will be displayed in the body of the email
    var cBody = "Hi,"
                + "\n\n"
                + "Project leader for the request:"
                + "\n"
                + this.getField("Project_Lead_1").value + " "
                + "\n"
                + this.getField("Project_Lead_2").value + " "
                + "\n\n"
                + "The name of the project is" + " "
                + this.getField("Project Name").value + "."
                + "\n"
                + "Comments:" + " " + this.getField("Comments").value
                + "\n\n"
                + "Document of Type:"
                + "\n"
                + this.getField("Type").value + ", " + this.getField("Document Size").value + ", "
                + this.getField("Document Orientation").value;

   // Send the entire PDF as a file attachment on an e-mail
   this.mailDoc({bUI:true, cTo: cToAddr, cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});

}

Use something like this:

if (this.getField("OM").valueAsString!="") cBody+=this.getField("OM").valueAsString+"\n";

Thank you for your quick response. I added the code but now its coming up as "off".

[darwinsm]

sorry, hit the button by mistake. When the check box is not selected, it is showing up as "off" on the email. Also, if the check box is selected, its showing up as "yes" instead of the selection.

You said it was a text field...

Sorry if that wasn’t clear enough. Can it be done with  radio or check boxes?

Yes, it is. Set the value you want to display as the export value (or "radio choice value") of the field, and then use this code:

if (this.getField("OM").valueAsString!="Off") cBody+=this.getField("OM").valueAsString+"\n";
