Need help with JavaScript validation on combination of 2 fields

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 48

I am trying to validate the combination of 2 fields with Javascript and this is probably a syntax error, but I've tried several variations with no luck. It gives the error on ALL combinations instead of just the two I need or doesn't work at all. I followed these articles an have attempted several things:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Portals/webform-javascript-validation/m-p/694546

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Portals/Using-JavaScript-For-Web-Form-Validation-in-Power-Portal/m-p/681344 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/configure/add-custom-javascript

 

One version:

 

 

 if (window.jQuery) {
 (function ($) {
 webFormClientValidate = function() {
 var account = $("#account").val();
 var question = $("#findcompany").val();
//need error message if company lookup is blank and answer is 'yes' OR if company lookup not blank and answer is 'no'. Yes/No is a 2 option set, so I've tried both true and false as well as 0 and 1 for the values, but same issue.
 if ((account == null && question == false) || (account != null && question == true) ) {
 return true
 } else {
 alert("Incorrect selection. If Company is selected and correct, select Yes. Otherwise if Company is not found and blank, select No.");
 return false;
 }
 };
 }(window.jQuery));
 }​

 

also tried this after finding the radio button post:

 

 if (window.jQuery) {
 (function ($) {
 webFormClientValidate = function() {
 var selectedValue = GetRadioSelectedValue($('#findcompany'));
 var account = $("#account").val();
 if ((account == null && selectedValue == 0) || (account != null && selectedValue == 1) ) {
 return true
 } else {
 alert("Incorrect selection description");
 return false;
 }
 };
 }(window.jQuery));
 }

GetRadioSelectedValue = function(input) {

 if (!!$(input).find("input[type=radio]")) {
 var controlName = $(input).find("input[type=radio]").first().attr("name");
 if (!!controlName) {
 return $("input[name='" + controlName + "']:checked").val();
 }
 }
 return "";
};

 

 

Still not working. Please help and thank you.

    Hi @JEM123 ,

    Try to use instead of NULL - the option value, in case of lookup field.

    if (( account =='915240000' && question == '915240000') ...

    It should work

    if you changed a style of the filed to horizontal/vertical option set then

    if ($('#yourfiled_1').is(':checked')==true)

    I'm not sure I understand. Account in this case is a lookup. If I need to check if a value is present, would I use null/not null? I found another way that uses $("#id").val().length - would that work? I tried, but I'm still getting the validation alert coming up incorrectly.

    Hi @JEM123,

    So lookup on portal are actually 3 input fields that contain main data - id of the record, entity name of the record and name part that you see as a text. When you query data field by id what you actually get is a text input that should contain id of the record. If it is empty it will not be null - instead it will be an empty text field ie "". 

    var account = $("#account").val();
    
    if(account == "") console.log("I AM EMPTY!");

    Regarding radio buttons - didn't use them in a while I much prefer checkboxes or dropdown lists. I will check it on my test portal and get back to you.

    That worked for account! I feel like I tried that earlier 😂. I kept the same radio button logic I had in the second example of my post, and that is good.
