callserver and javascript for dcr name validation

Hi all,

I using Form Api to auto name a dcr. I also need to check whether a dcr with abc name is already there or not.
For this I am using a call server on onSaveValid. It returns a javascript alert.
So far I coded this much.
Now can anybody tell me-

how can I capture some flag from the callserver javascript and if it returns true... it will go straight to proceed with saving the dcr else on false provide an alert and give the user option to correct the name again.

Thanks in advance.

Have you searched the forums? This kind of question has been asked/answered a number of times - and I know that the answer is out there because earlier this year I seached for it myself and found it.

Why dont you complete all your requirements within the callserver script. Use [color=Black]parent.getScriptFrame() or opener.top.getScriptFrame() and proceed with the functionalities of formapi from the same script.[/color]

Anyone wants to have some fun---

I have one user script which auto name a DCR with file name validation so in “data" folder no one can overwrite an existing file. I have another user script which set meta data on DCR. Seperatly this both script works fine without any issues.

Now this two user script will be on one DCT. But the user script is not working toghether because of the event conflict. So if anyone can suggest me how can i accomplish this issue that will be a great help.

F.Y.I:Both of the user script using callserver method. autoNameDcr.js is fired on "onSaveValid" event and setMetaData.js is fired on onSaveDone. For your convenience I am also attaching both user scripts’ sample code.

Can anybody tell me why i am not getting the alert on "onSaveDone"?i got the alert on onSaveValid though.

function init()
{
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveValid", alertValid);
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveDone", alertDone);
}

function alertValid()
{
alert("Inside alertValid");
//Now return true to continue save operation
return true;
}

function alertDone() {

alert("Inside alertDone");

return true;
}

IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);

What you've included is just a code fragment. All I can tell is that your (fragment) syntax is correct, there is no way to know from it what really happened run-time.
Chances are you are not getting onSaveDone alert because the save was not done.

Thanks ISCBorisB. That was the key to my problem . Now after onSaveValid ,i call IWDatacapture.save() which saves my dcr then my onSaveDone event execute it's function and gets out of the DCT.
