Hi Vaishu,

I'm afraid I can't be too helpful with how to write that part of your code. The best help I can offer is that you can reference both the Lookup and user input control objects in the formWorks code by the following:
...
form['Lookup Title'].ctrl.childNodes;
...

in psuedo-code, it might look like this:

...
var options = form['Lookup Title'].ctrl.childNodes;
for (var o=0;o<options.length;o++) {
if (form['UserInput'].ctrl.value == options[o].value) {
alert('Name already exists!');
}
}
...

Hi,

Thanks.
I got it to work to alert user if value already exists using onchange event handler.

Now I am looking to do validation of values entered by user.

If user enters "Desai Vaishu" and lookup field contains "Vaishu Desai" it should alert saying value already exists.
If lookup value contains "Desai, Vaishu" and user enters "Desai Vaishu" then also it should alert value exists in lookup.

Thanks.

The "formWorks.download" file is the code file, just renamed from "formWorks.html". If you open that .download file in a simple text editor, you'll see the formWorks code.

The thing i am not able to look at the code on this download link. When I click on the link it downloads in forworks.download format and does not open up.
So i cannot paste any code into the CEWP.

-Thanks,

If you download this link and paste the code on that page into the CEWP, you should be able to add your own custom functions to the controls on the form by adding the following code to the appropriate section in the "runMods()" function:

form['Row Name'].ctrl.insEvent("onClick","myFunction()");

Hi Ben,

For that, I'd recommend using the formWorks code instead of this code.

Once you've added this code to the page, you'll want to make the following modifications to both the "/NewForm.aspx/" and "/DispForm.aspx/" blocks in the runMods() function to suit your needs:

When you say "use Formworks code inside of this code" what do you mean?

Which is the code for formworks which i have to add to the CEWP page.

I am aware of how to add the cewp to newform.aspx and then add the code to that.

-Thanks.

Hi Vaishu,

To use the formWorks code, you'll need to add a "Content Editor Web Part" to the bottom of the form. You can do that by adding "ToolPaneView=2" to the end of the page URL that you want to work on.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I am not exactly sure how to use the Formworks code.
I download the code, but it is not in a proper format to open it.

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks,
Vaishu

Hi Vaishu,

Sorry for taking so long to reply. For that, I'd recommend using the formWorks code instead of this code.

Once you've added this code to the page, you'll want to make the following modifications to both the "/NewForm.aspx/" and "/DispForm.aspx/" blocks in the runMods() function to suit your needs:

textBoxRowName.ctrl.insEvent("onBlur","checkName(this.value)");

You'll also need to add a function named checkName(input) that looks like this:

function checkName(input) {
if (input==lookupRowName.ctrl.value) {
alert("MATCH!");
} else {
// the fields don't match
}
}

This is how I'd approach the task. Please feel free to email me if you have questions.

Hi,

Nice post.
I am trying to "validate/compare values entered by user in textbox against the one's which are in lookup column".

So when user enters, Jin, Chim in textbox it should compare values in lookup field and alert user if duplicate values are entered.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
