Form Validation Help

[Nomad Soul]

Hi

I have a regular WB16 form in my site.

I need to try and do a validation when pressing the submit button to check the value on a combo box.

If the combo box value is 1 the user should be directed to the normal success page. If the value is 2 they should be directed to a different page.

Is this possible or is there another way I can achieve this validation?

There is no standard option for this, this will require a custom script.

Thanks Both

I think i might have found a solution.

If the combo box value is 1 the page will be normal but if the combo box value is changed to 2 i will hide the normal submit button and show a 2nd submit button which goes to a different success page.

Will this work?

[Pablo]

A form can only have one success page. So, using a different submit button will not work.

I'm trying to implement the JS code from this link:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/457 ... -they-have

Where do I put this code in my WB16 page?

Code: Select all

redirectPage() {
  // Gets value of dropdown
  var selectedOption = $("#sponsor option:selected").val();

  // Picks correct url to go to
  var url;
  switch(selectedOption) {
    case "mark":
      url = "your link #1 here";
      break;
    case "markus":
      url = "your link #2 here";
      break;
    default:
      url = "";
      break;
  }

  // Changes current page and keeps back history
  window.location.assign(url);
}

See the above. You will also need to modify to suit your own needs so a understanding of javascript or jQuery is needed.

Thanks BaconFries

I understand what needs to be changed in the code to suit my page. I have done this already.

I just don't know where to put the code. Can this be added in a HTML object or does it need to go in the submit button object HTML and which tag should it go after or before?

[Pablo]

I just don't know where to put the code.

Normally, scripts are place between the head tags.

which tag should it go after or before?

You should add <script></script> tags around the code.
