checkbox IF argument

[richarde]

Hi,

Upon submit of a WebForm datapage, I want to generate new text for a record depending on whether or not a checkbox on the Webform is checked.

Something like this, I think:

function intersection()

{

if(document.forms[0].CrossStreet.checked){

document.forms[0].InsertRecordaddress.value==\"help\";

} else {

document.forms[0].InsertRecordaddress.value==\"me\";

}

}

document.forms[0].onsubmit=intersection;

My checkbox is called CrossStreet. If it's checked, I'm going to plug in some unrelated data into the [address] field. The script coding is in the footer section of the WebForm datapage. (The address field is hidden and is blank)

Many, many thanks for any ideas on what I'm doing wrong. Something simple, I hope :-)

Hi Richard,

If the checkbox is in the webform fields as a checkbox element you need to refer to it as InsertRecordCrossStreet like:

document.getElementById(\"InsertRecordCrossStreet\")

I also suggest you to refer to each element by calling their Id like the code above.

For example you can call Caspio form as:

document.getElementById(\"caspioform\").onsubmit=...

also document.getElementById(\"InsertRecordaddress\").value=...

Thanks for your help.

I'm not getting any results with this modification. Can you see the problem?

Is this correct, or should I assign (document.getElementById(\"InsertRecordCrossStreet\")) to a variable and then use the variable in the if statement? And is xxx.checked a correct way to refer to the value of the yes/no checkbox?

Thanks again.

function intersection()

{

if(document.getElementById(\"InsertRecordCrossStreet\")).checked){

document.getElementByID(\"InsertRecordaddress\").value==\"help\";

} else {

document.getElementByID(\"InsertRecordaddress\").value==\"me\";

}

}

document.getElementByID(\"CrimeEntryForm\").onsubmit=intersection;

Hello Richard,

Your code has some syntax errors, the correct one would be:

function intersection()

{

if(document.getElementById(\"InsertRecordCrossStreet\").checked){

document.getElementByID(\"InsertRecordaddress\").value=\"help\";

} else {

document.getElementByID(\"InsertRecordaddress\").value=\"me\";

}

}

document.getElementByID(\"CrimeEntryForm\").onsubmit=intersection;

I recommend you to download Firebug so you can see the errors when you run the web page --if you are using Firefox browser---

Thanks, I actually figured it out earlier today. I just installed Firebug -- thanks for the tip.

This can be achieved by Triggered Actions also. Triggered Actions allow data manipulation, calculations and sending notifications by constructing application logic with a visual interface. They will be executed on specified events to perform actions on data in your tables. Here's a documentation about it: https://howto.caspio.com/tables-and-views/triggered-actions/
