Allow deleting only when value in the field=Delete

[Mylene]

Hi, I need to allow deleting record on Details page only when user is typed "Delete" in a field. How can do that?

Hi Mylene, 

 

That's easy. You should add Virtual Field, where users will type "Delete". Use the following code:

 

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

var stat=document.getElementById('cbParamVirtual1').value;

if (stat ==!'Delete')
    {
 
  document.getElementById("Mod0DeleteRecord").style.visibility = 'hidden';

    }



</script>

 

Happy Holidays

I've tried this in a details page, and it doesn't seem to work?  What could I be doing wrong?  I put the code in the footer.  Is this correct?

You can try:

<script>
var stat = document.getElementById('cbParamVirtualX');
var hideShowDelete = function (event)
{
    if (stat.value.toLowerCase().indexOf('delete') !== -1)
    {
        document.getElementById("Mod0DeleteRecord").style.visibility = 'hidden';
    }
    else
    {
        document.getElementById("Mod0DeleteRecord").style.visibility = 'visible';
    }
};
stat.addEventListener('input', hideShowDelete);
</script>

 

This revised code has the advantages of:

1. Case insensitivity
2. Ability to respond to user input instead of just the initial value

Try this one: 

 

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

document.getElementById("Mod0DeleteRecord").style.display = 'none';

function MyFunction()
{

var stat=document.getElementById('cbParamVirtual1').value;

var del = "Delete";
if(stat==del)
    {
 
  document.getElementById("Mod0DeleteRecord").style.display = 'initial';

    }
else 

    {document.getElementById("Mod0DeleteRecord").style.display = 'none';

     }
 }


document.getElementById('cbParamVirtual1').onchange=MyFunction;


</SCRIPT>
