"OnClick" for IWEventRegistry

gururaj

I'm not able to call a handler as soon as field is clicked
code:
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/Topic/Question and Answer/Answer", "onClick", QuestionHandler);

As soon as "Answer" is clicked Question has to be checked.

function QuestionCheck(Answer)
{
if(IWDatacapture.getItem(Answer.getName()+"/../Question").value == "");
{
alert("Add the Question first");
}
}
This code is also not working.I'm not able to get the Value of Question and then check if there is a question.The " if" loop is entered for all the conditions i.e if there is a question also.

datacapture.cfg code:

<container name="Topic" combination="and">
<description>Enter Question and Answer for this Topic</description>
<item name="Topic">
<label>Topic Name</label>
<text required="t" size="50" maxlength="100" />
</item>
<item name="Question and Answer">
<replicant max="10" default="1">
<item name="Question">
<label>Question</label>
<textarea required="t" wrap='physical' cols="50" rows="2"/>
</item>
<item name="Answer">
<label>Answer</label>
<textarea required="t" wrap='physical' cols="50" rows="2"/>
</item>
<item name="Image" rowcontinue="f">
<description>Please attach the image</description>
<label>Image</label>
<browser rowcontinue="t" maxlength="255" size="15" extns=".gif,.jpg" ceiling-dir="/images" initial-dir="/images"></browser>
</item>
<item name="Caption" rowcontinue="f">
<description>Enter the Caption</description>
<label>Caption</label>
<text required="f" maxlength="40" size="72" />
</item>
</replicant>
</item>
</container>

Please reply to me if u have any other solutions for it.

Hmm, it would seem that your best bet would be to start with the FormAPI documentation, located at:

http://YOURTSSERVER/iw/help/tst/formapi

If you look there, you'll notice that there is no "onClick" event. Perhaps an onItemChange event registered on the correct item could solve your problem? You could register an onItemChange on the Answer, and then check to see if there is a question. I know this wouldn't occur as soon as an onClick, but I think that's the best you'll be able to do.

Regarding your "if" statement. You can't treat a datacapture address like a file path. "/../" does *not* mean go up one level in the tree. What you'll need to do for that is to use some kind of string manipulation (I recommend regex) to construct the path to the question from the path to the answer.
