Check the Cost is less than Retail

[lmooring]

Hi Caspio World,

 

I feel like this is an easy one, but I am not able to figure out the java scripting. I have two fields on a submission form; Cost and Retail.

I am looking for a simple data check script to make sure that cost is always less than the retail amount. If Cost is greater, an alert pops up, "cost must be less."

 

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi,

try using my code in the footer of the datapage:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

 function check()
 {
   var v_cost = parseFloat(document.getElementById("InsertRecordFirst_field").value);
 var v_retail = parseFloat(document.getElementById("InsertRecordSecond_field").value);
   
if(v_cost>v_retail) {
     window.alert("Cost must be less");
 return false;
}

}

 document.getElementById("caspioform").onsubmit=check;

</SCRIPT>

Replace First_field with field name where you store cost, and Second_field with field name where you store retail amount.

Hope it helps!
