Delay pop-up notice

    I have a notice area that shows up when a value my users enter is low. Since the form calculates dynamically (which I like), the notice shows up as soon as the form loads. I know I can turn off dynamic calculation, but is there a better way to stop the notice from showing until the user has made at least one input into my simple form?

    Hi,

    You can use conditional statements in your equation to be sure the values of fields are entered before evaluate and display a result.

    For example, suppose the fields are: fieldname1, and fieldname2, and the equation is: fieldname1+fieldname2, and you want evaluate the sum only if the values of fields are not empty.

    First, assign a different class name to each field, for example: field1, and field2, to the fields fieldname1, and fieldname2 respectively.

    Tip: The class names are assigned to the fields through the attribute “Add Css Layout Keywords”

    Finally, modifies the equation as follows:

    (function(){
if( jQuery('.field1 input').val() != '' && jQuery('.field2 input').val() != '' ) return fieldname1+fieldname2;
return '';
})()

    If you want evaluate the equation only if the values of fieldname1 and fieldname2 are different to zero (if the fields are empty the plugin interprets them as zero), the equation would be:

    IF( AND(fieldname1,fieldname2), fieldname1+fieldname2, '')

    Best regards.
