Hi!
I would like to ask how you can create an alert or popup message when an item is selected from a dropdown box. It doesn't matter which item is selected. I just wanted to create an alert or pop up message.
Thanks,

Jay

Jay,
use JavaScript API in the JavaScript Onload event on the Events tab.

Here is a sample:

var ctrl = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'FieldName');

function func() {

alert("Something");

};

ctrl.on('change', func);



where FieldName is your actual field name.

Hi Ann,
Thanks for the reply.
I forgot to mention that I am using APS Runner 6.1.
I was looking for something to be inserted on the Editor tab (HTML mode) like this:

document.getElementById("Field1").onclick or onchange
and then will create an alert (message box).
If there's another way, I would like to try it as well.
Thanks,

Jay

Jay,
the code is exactly as you told (add at the end of the page in the HTML mode on the Visual Editor tab):

<script>

document.forms.editform.value_Field1.onchange = function(){

alert("Something")

}

</script>
