Javascript validation 0 value Issues

Question

Hi,

I have a free format question (Q21) with numeric text box and don't know checkbox for each attribute. I pipe in selected attributes from Q20 to Q21. The valid range for numeric text box is 0 to 100. I have written below validation script

var strErrorMessage="";

var Q20KValue='[%Q20_K%]';


if(Q20KValue>=1 && SSI_GetValue("Q21_ROW6L")=="" && SSI_GetValue("Q21_ROW6_1")==0)
{
  strErrorMessage= "Response is required for 'Specialty' attribute."
}
else if (SSI_GetValue("Q21_ROW6L")!="" && SSI_GetValue("Q21_ROW6_1")==1)
{
  strErrorMessage= "Please provide only one answer for 'Specialty' attribute."
}


var Q20IValue='[%Q20_I%]';


if(Q20IValue>=1 && SSI_GetValue("Q21_ROW5L")==="" && SSI_GetValue("Q21_ROW5_1")==0)
{
  strErrorMessage= "Response is required for 'Automated' attribute."
}
else if (SSI_GetValue("Q21_ROW5L")!="" && SSI_GetValue("Q21_ROW5_1")==1)
{
  strErrorMessage= "Please provide only one answer for 'Automated' attribute."
}

The problem is if I entered 0 in numeric textbox it throws 'Response is required' error and if I entered 0 and checked Don't know option then it doesn't throw 'Please provide only one answer' error.

But the script works fine for other values (1 to 100)

Hi Abdul,

Instead of SSI_GetValue("Q21_ROW6L"), please capture the value in a variable like below and then use the variable for applying any condition as you have applied:

var pq=$("#Q21_ROW6L").val();

I hope this will solve your query.
