Hi, I'm having trouble deciphering the way to do some "Client Before" validation. It would seem I need to use OnLoad event to position functions/set events handled by the (validation) functions. Is that right?
Can anyone provide an example - the case in the manual seems to simplistic, and I can't get it working anyway. I'm at the point where I am not sure I am using the right approach.
Thanks - further detail below, although examples welcome and I'll try to work it out! <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=21259&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />

I have a button in a list page, the list page being viewed in master/detail as the detail. On click of the button, before trying server updates, I want to check the client's balance is adequate.
So, the balance field is visible in the list page row. The required amount is a total debt value in the master record, shown in the page at the top above the list.
I can't seem to find a way to refer to fields in the row or the master in the Client Before event, except by using Runner.getControl.
Having circled around a bit, I now have script in the onload event, which uses getcontrol to try to get the two fields, has a function there to validate, and which sets the "on click" event for the button to run the function.
But it doesn't work.
Can anyone provide a sample of how I might approach this?
