[size="3"]Is there a way to rewrite or modify the Ajaxed Auto-fill feature? I am using the latest version of PHPR 8.
The auto-fill works inconsistently often enough to not be able to guarantee that I have a consistent solution when I need fields to auto-populate dependent fields.
For instance:
++) With the lookup wizard I use the autocomplete feature to designate that selecting the account number returns the matching business name, address, telephone number,email address, zipcode & contact name fields to immediately appear in the child record form.
+++) Problem is that one important field may be missed with this action. Most of the time all fields are correctly filled in but during a typical session of filling in 10 forms or so this "blank field" may happen twice or three times. Different users try 3 or 4 methods to re-start the process and get that blank filled in as it is designed to happen.
As the developer I would like to put an action up that simplifies the User's job to fill in these forms with accurate information.
The inconsistency with the Autofill feature happens daily and I have no answer how to "fix" the issue.
I know that different browsers with installed add-ons, different program environments on computers, perhaps a faulty keyboard, or a particular version of browser can affect these actions, theoretically, and it is the fault of the browser, hosting server, internet connection, or computer.

[size="3"]My Question: Is there a way that I can Reinforce this action by modifying the j-query, javascript, Yahoo js, jason, whatever components are used?
Is there a way for the Auto-Fill feature created with the Lookup Wizard to "double check" whether a User selection has actually filled in all fields with values?
That after a user selects the key value from the master table the Auto-fill feature then checks for the results. That it sniffs to detect if the procedure has done its job and delivered values to each designated Auto-fill field in the child record form before Submit?
If the Auto-fill scripts detect that a field is still blank then that field will be quickly highlighted and a message pop-up returns saying "Retrieving the Address for Acme Candy--please wait briefly until this field is filled in."
Thank you so much for letting me know what the possiblities may be.[/size]
