SSI GetValue Error

Question

can you help me with this validation

if in P16_1 it is = a 1 then in F17_r1_c1 and F17_r1_c2 they can not remain empty, at least there has to be an answer in one of them
  this is my syntax

if (SSI_GetValue("F16_1")==1 && (SSI_GetValue("F17_r1_c1") ==0 && SSI_GetValue ("F17_r1_c2") ==0) )

{strErrorMessage = "Tiene que mencionar al menos una marca para el producto Desmaquillador";}
   

else
{
bln_custom_result = true;
}

Is it P16_1 or F16_1? Your question says that the variable is P16_1, but your logic calls it F16_1. Also, are these questions on the same page or different pages? If they're on different pages, then you'd need to use Perl to recall the P16_1 value, not JavaScript.

Sorry the question is F16_1 and it is a previous question and the F17_r1_c1 and F17_r2_c2 can not be empty if the F16_1 has been answered



please could you share the proper syntax for this validation I want to do

Should "bln_custom_result" be "strErrorMessage"? Looks like you have copied from an old Sawtooth Software version?

Hi Pablo,

The issue is that F16_1 is gathered on another page, so is not available to the JavaScript at runtime. You'd need to use SSI Script to recall that value instead. So, create a JavaScript variable and assign it to be equal to [% F16_1 %]. Then use the newly created JavaScript variable in your logic.

Best regards,
Aaron

Try this:

if ([% F16_1 %] == 1 && (SSI_GetValue("F17_r1_c1") == 0 && SSI_GetValue("F17_r1_c2") == 0)) {
    strErrorMessage = "Tiene que mencionar al menos una marca para el producto Desmaquillador";
}
