Qualifying UI Text Box Entry not working

[Dutch 4]

I'm trying to verify that a text box entry has been made using this code:

I've also tried:

if($comparison(#outputFolder, """", ""))

 

 

set(#outputFolder, "", "Global")

ui text box("Output Folder Name", #outputFolder)

if($comparison(#outputFolder, "", "")) {

then {

run javascript("alert(\"Please enter the Output Folder Name\")")

}

else {

set(#outputPath, "{$special folder("Desktop")}\\Output\\", "Global")

create folder(#outputPath, #outputFolder)

set(#outputPath, "{#outputPath}{#outputFolder}\\", "Global")

}

}

 

If I don't put a value in the text box I expect the alert to fire - but ir's not happening. Any ideas on how to get this to function?

 

Thanks,

 

Dutch

Two things to note:

 

1. alerts are disabled by default right now to prevent them from stopping a bot.

2. your $comparison looks like its missing the 2nd parameter which should be "="

 

Here's a screenshot of how it should look: http://screencast.com/t/RebGiVnfRda

 

if($comparison(#outputFolder, "=", "")) {
   then {
   }
   else {
   }
}

My bad! - I changed the code when I pasted it into the original post and didn't think it was functioning because I didn't know Javascript Alerts aren't functioning. Is there a list somewhere of disabled components and features? It's pretty time consuming to try stuff only to discover that it's disabled and not currently functional.

 

With the proper qualifier of "="

Any type of popups from the browser are currently disabled, such as browser popups, javascript alerts, javascript confirms, and javascript prompts.
