Workflow Soluiton

Hello,

I am trying to use a javascript to set a textbox to write if the  SQL query returns null data and does not fill out the textbox.  I am having trouble incorporating this into workflow.  I added the script to the form and create an onload event to call the function. 

I also tried adding the function to an event on the text box using onactivate, but it doesnt seem to work properly.  I set the text box to read only in workflow, then when the form loads and has no data in the field, i can write to it.  Once i click on the submit button all fields reset and error out saying field required.  Has anyone gotten this to work?

function ReadOnly()
 
{
 
var text = document.getElementById("textbox").value;
 
if (!text.match(/\S/))
 
{
 
document.getElementById("textbox").readOnly = false;
 
}else
 
{
 
return true;
 
}

Which part doesn't work?  I created a quick test package that is using .disabled instead of .readOnly, let me know if it helps.

Attached.

The body onload event looks like this:

var testbox = document.getElementById('TestTextBox');

if (testbox.value == '') {
testbox.disabled = true;
}
else {
testbox.disabled = false;
}

When it comes to javascript, there is nothing like adding windows alerts to test if your function is firing properly... just add a "window.alert('insert text here');" wherever necessary.

window.alert('got here');

window.alert('path 1');

...

One thing you need to have in your example is to have the Control ID of your textbox to be "textbox"... make sure that is set.

var text = document.getElementById("textbox").value;

Sorry - I got the logic backwards from what you wanted.  Also, if you'd rather have readOnly, just swap out "readOnly" for "disabled" in my example.
