XPage : Combobox value

Hi There,

Can somebody point me in the right direction of how to check the value selected in a combobox?

I have the following validation script running on the client side and its not getting the value selected :

var Name = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:NameList}”);

var PhoneNo = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:PhoneList}”);

var SiteVal = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:WebSite}”); // This is the COMBOBOX I need the value of

var WebEmail = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:WebEmail}”);

if(Name.value == “”)

{

alert("Please enter the Caller's Name.");

Name.focus();

return false;

}

if(SiteVal.value == “”) //This doe not work

{

alert("Please enter the Caller's Site.");

return false;

}

if(PhoneNo.value == “”)

{

alert("Please enter the full International Phone Number.");

return false;

}

if(WebEmail.value == “”)

{

alert("Please enter an Email Address.");

return false;

}

SiteVal is the combobox value, I cant seem to validate it. I appreciate the help.

Thanks

Jamie

Subject: try this…

Hi Jamie,

I’ve used the following:

var SiteVal = String(getComponent(“WebSite”).getValue());

and then…

if (SiteVal == “” || SiteVal == “null”) {

alert("Please enter the Caller's Site.");

return false;

}

Hope that helps … John

How does it render to HTML? as a Select Item? then, you could check for the “selected” property. something like SiteVal.selected

Subject: Tried SiteVal.selected - Error

Hi,

i have also tried this :

var Name = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:NameList}”);

var PhoneNo = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:PhoneList}”);

var SiteVal = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:WebSite}”);

var WebEmail = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:WebEmail}”);

//var SiteVal = String(getComponent(“WebSite”).getValue());

if(Name.value == “”)

{

alert("Please enter the Caller's Name.");

Name.focus();

return false;

}

//if (SiteVal == “” || SiteVal == “null”) {

//alert(“Please enter the Caller’s Site.”);

//return false;

//}

if(SiteVal.selected == “” || SiteVal.selected == “null”)

{

alert("Please enter the Caller's Site.");

return false;

}

if(PhoneNo.value == “”)

{

alert("Please enter the full International Phone Number.");

return false;

}

if(WebEmail.value == “”)

{

alert("Please enter an Email Address.");

return false;

}

This also didn’t work - I am getting more and more confused about this!

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Subject: Object expected - Error

Hi John,

Gave the code you included a go and it did not work for some reason, when i click the button i get an ‘Object Expected’ error.

Here is the revised code :

var Name = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:NameList}”);

var PhoneNo = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:PhoneList}”);

//var SiteVal = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:WebSite}”);

var WebEmail = XSP.getElementById(“#{id:WebEmail}”);

var SiteVal = String(getComponent(“WebSite”).getValue());

if(Name.value == “”)

{

alert("Please enter the Caller's Name.");

Name.focus();

return false;

}

if (SiteVal == “” || SiteVal == “null”) {

alert(“Please enter the Caller’s Site.”);

return false;

}

//if(SiteVal.value == “”)

//{

// alert(“Please enter the Caller’s Site.”);

// return false;

//}

if(PhoneNo.value == “”)

{

alert("Please enter the full International Phone Number.");

return false;

}

if(WebEmail.value == “”)

{

alert("Please enter an Email Address.");

return false;

}

Thanks for any help.

Jamie
