Hi I have a simple text item validation function which works for MSIE, Google Chrome and Opera But it does not work for Mozilla Firefox.

My javascript function is as below:

function NumericValidation(pThis){
if (isNaN($v(pThis))){
alert('Value is not a valid number');
}
else if ($v(pThis)<=0){
alert('Must be a positive value!');
}
else {
1=1;
}
}

Any Idea..Please notify

This question bears no real connection with Oracle.
Please find a more appropriate forum.
The topic is locked.
If I'm wrong, please, PM me (or report this message to a moderator, explain why you think it should be unlocked and it might be done).

Actually, as most of Apex pages do use Javascripts, I believe that Oracle and Javascript are very related to each other when speaking of Apex. We should look at it as if it was a question about running Oracle on different platforms. Only, now we are speaking about running Apex on different browsers.

Therefore, I unlocked the topic.

I didn't see the mention of Apex in the title and as the topic was posted in Java forum I didn't think about Apex.

I have mentioned Apex 3.2 in the tag below the topic name. Since I have posted it in the Apex forum and Oracle Apex deals with javascripts so I think topic is relevant. Yes javascript may have it's own forum, may be I should ask the question there as well, but I am talking about using javascript in Oracle Apex 3.2 using different web browsers. I need responses from people who work in Apex and faced the problem and solved it. That's why I posted the topic here.

Anyway, you should post your question in a FF forum, there should be far more skilled people on it than here; we are more Oracle guys than Internet browser ones.

Hi, $v(pThis) is an Apex defined function. it will not work anywhere else same as it works here in apex. So Apex people can answer me here. I am hopeful for help in Apex forum.

I believe your problem is here:
else {
  1=1;
}


1 is a constant value, so it can't be assigned to anything. IE just overlooks the problem, but FF doesn't like it and refuses to run anything. (Tried it here on IE 8.0 and FF 3.6.)

Hi c_stenersen, thanks for your advice, I have re-written the function like this

function NumericValidation(pThis){
if (isNaN(document.getElementById(pThis).value )){
alert('Value is not a valid number');
}
else if (document.getElementById(pThis).value <=0){
alert('Must be a positive value!');
}
else {
var a = 1; //actually does nothing. it's a fake assignment.
}
}


Now it also works for Firefox. Thank you.

Regards

Why don't you put something like the following instead of a fake assignment:
function NumericValidation(pThis){
  if (isNaN(document.getElementById(pThis).value )){
    alert('Value is not a valid number');
  } 
  else if (document.getElementById(pThis).value <=0){
    alert('Must be a positive value!');
  }
  // no else because <... here a meaningful comment for your application ...>
}

or if you are in the process of developping the procedure:
function NumericValidation(pThis){
  if (isNaN(document.getElementById(pThis).value )){
    alert('Value is not a valid number');
  } 
  else if (document.getElementById(pThis).value <=0){
    alert('Must be a positive value!');
  }
  else {
    // Normal case to be provided
  }

Regards
Michel

There are some in built functions in Apex which you can use:
Use $x('P1_TEXT').value instead of using document.getElementById('P1_TEXT').value

P1_TEXT is the text item created.
