Hello,

 

Keep in mind the difference between the server and the browser.  When you have a bound variable like {!opp}, it is going to have the value it had on the server.  So it  started as null on the server, the value null is sent to the web browser both in your 

 

<apex:inputtext value="{!opp}" id="oppTextInput"/>

 

and in the reference in the JavaScript.  The user types in a value in the text field, but your JavaScript still sees null.  You can have your JavaScript check the HTML tag.  The VF tag looks something like this in the web browser

 

<input id="oppTextInput" type="text" name="oppTextInput" />

 

You could have your JavaScript check the HTML input tag:

 

<script>

  function check() {

    if(document.getElementById('oppTextInput').value!=null){

     alert('Welcome ');

    }

  }

</script>

We can use jQuery in this case.We can check the value enter by user in following way on command button  - 

 

<apex:commandbutton value="DO" action={!submit} onclick="if ($('input[Id$=ComponentId]').val() != '') check();"/>

 

where ComponentId is id of input text box.

 

Let me know if it works.

Hi vrpnaidu,

 

the problem is that 'opp' no is nothing on the java script and the web.

 

Change  <apex:inputtext value="{!opp}" /> for  <apex:inputtext  id="opp" value="{!opp}" />

And in the scrip you need createa a var 

function check() {

 if(opp!=null){

  alert('Welccome ');

} }

 


to

 

function check(){

 var opp = document.getElementById("opp");

 if(opp!=null){

   alert('Welcome');

 } 

}
