Re: Validate without an Alert Dialog

Thanks for the reply. I have built a dynamic table with repeating sections and textboxes. Each repeating section is a "row" in the table. The First Column and Row of the data can be alphanumeric, but all cells inside the second row, second column must be numeric.

I know I can validate this using Alert dialogs, but I'd like to do it with Screen Tips.

As an aside, I could make the header row a separate group and validate the next group that holds the data (except for the first column), but I'd like to stick with the structure that I have.

Again, thank you for your reply.

If you do this just in the designer and not with code it should work like you want it to. Is there a specific reason you are doing it in code and not with the utilities provided in the IP designer?

Validate without an Alert Dialog

Is it possible from JScript code to validate a field's value without telling the user that the field is in valid in an Alert dialog popup? In other words, I would like to encircle the field with a dotted red line like Infopath does when one of the data validation conditions are met instead of setting eventObj.returnStatus = false and eventObj.returnMessage = "XXXXXXX".

Thank you for your assistance.
