Michele, use the tag code to post your code sample otherwise, such as in this case, it has been truncated due to html characters

 

or you can type (without spaces)

[ code] your code here [ /code]

But should be something like this

function mrs_ddbox_subtotals_onclick(event)

{

var selOpt = IbComposer_getCurrentSelection('mrs_ddbox_subtotals');

if (selOpt == 'Y')

alert ("Selection is true");

}

Or like that depending of type of control

function mrs_ddbox_subtotals_onclick(event)

{

if (mrs_ddbox_subtotals0.checked == true)

alert ("Selection is true");

}

And may also have other ways to do it

MartinY, I used your first suggestion because I want an alert message to pop up when the user clicks the radio button that has Y as the value. I ran the code below but when I clicked on the radio button no message popped up. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks.

//Begin function mrs_ddbox_subtotals_onclick

function mrs_ddbox_subtotals_onclick(event) {

{

var selOpt = IbComposer_getCurrentSelection(mrs_ddbox_subtotals);

if (selOpt == Y)

alert (The subtotal field must be the first selected report field!);

}

//End function mrs_ddbox_subtotals_onclick ]

[Martin Yergeau]

Try the following to test the control value

function mrs_ddbox_subtotals_onclick(event)

{

var selOpt = IbComposer_getCurrentSelection(mrs_ddbox_subtotals);

alert ("selOpt");

//if (selOpt == Y)

//alert (The subtotal field must be the first selected report field!);

}

But since its a radio, the second option should work better.

Let pretend that you have three options.

So referring options should be like that:

First option (A) is named mrs_ddbox_subtotals0

Second option (Y) is named mrs_ddbox_subtotals1

Third option (N) is named mrs_ddbox_subtotals2

Then if second option is the one with the Y value, you can normally do the following

function mrs_ddbox_subtotals_onclick(event)

{

if (mrs_ddbox_subtotals0.checked == true)

alert ("Option 1 is selected");

else if (mrs_ddbox_subtotals1.checked == true)

alert ("Option 2 is selected");

else

alert ("Option 3 is selected");

}

MartinY:

 

function mrs_ddbox_subtotals_onclick(event) { { var selOpt = IbComposer_getCurrentSelection(mrs_ddbox_subtotals); alert (selOpt);

 

 

I tested the control value but nothing happens when I click the subtotals button. Should I delete it and create it again It is a static button control that passes either a Y (this means to include subtotals in the report, and N (this means do not include subtotals in the report).

[Martin Yergeau]

Are you sure that the function is associated with the control as an event

For me it seems that the event is never triggered

[Michele Brooks 2]

Yes. I highlighted the radio button box called mrs_ddbox_subtotals. I opened the properties menu, then clicked on the lightening bolt tab and clicked on the ellipse buttons for the click event and added the JavaScript code.

[Martin Yergeau]

Try with the following

function mrs_ddbox_subtotals_onclick(event)

{

alert ("In OnClick event");

}

If the event is properly called, you should see that alert

[Michele Brooks 2]

MartinY:

 

function mrs_ddbox_subtotals_onclick(event) { { alert (In OnClick event); }

 

 

Nothing happened. I can delete it and create a new event.

[Michele Brooks 2]

One other point. The control by itself actually works because I tested it. When I click the selection N and run the report, no subtotals appear on the report. When I click the selction Y and run the report, subtotals appear on the report. So to values are being passed to the control.

[Martin Yergeau]

Select the radio button box called mrs_ddbox_subtotals.

Then opened the properties menu, clicked on the lightening bolt tab and clicked on the ellipse buttons for the Value Changed event and added the JavaScript code.

Are the curly braces balanced in the code you are actually creating

Ill send my code in a minute. I retesting. Thanks,

MartinY, your code actually worked. Yay. Thank you so much. I decided to add your code to my backup version of the html page and it worked. I first used your code to test the button and then I used the onclick code. I think I did too much on the JavaScript tab in the version that I was working on and it stopped working. Im glad I backed it up before I started making changes to it. Thanks again.

David, thanks for viewing my post. I had to use my backup version of the html page because the one I was working on stopped working properly. I used MartinYs suggestion and it worked.

I need to create an alert message when a value of Y is selected for mrs_ddbox_subtotals radio button. I created the following event.

[/ //Begin function mrs_ddbox_subtotals_onclick

function mrs_ddbox_subtotals_onclick(event) { ]
