Help with Javascript button

Hi,

 

I created a javascript button to open a vf page if {!Quote.Installation_Address_2__c} is not blank but encountering an error. Im not sure how to define a blank value. i am encountering an invalid token issue.

 

 

==========================================

here's the code

 

if ({!Quote.Installation_Address_2__c}!= null)
{
window.parent.location.href="apex/Generate_Endorsement_Letter_B?id={!Quote.Id}";
}
else {
alert("Site B Installation Address is Missing!");
}

 

Thanks!

Del

You have to do a blank check when using a merge field, the preprocessor will replace the merge fields with actual values and after that js will run. So eventually it should be blank if value is null.

 

Try somehting like this

 

if ('{!JSENCODE(Quote.Installation_Address_2__c)}'!= '') {
    window.parent.location.href = "apex/Generate_Endorsement_Letter_B?id={!Quote.Id}";
} else {
    alert("Site B Installation Address is Missing!");
}

Hi Avi,

 

tried the code, now the page is coming, however, the page is coming out regardless the field is blank or not. 

 

 

Many tHanks!

Try about debugging the same by adding
alert('{!JSENCODE(Quote.Installation_Address_2__c)}');
or
console.log('{!JSENCODE(Quote.Installation_Address_2__c)}');
