I am working on a custom button on Account detail page which is an Onclick javascript button. I am using the following logic behind the button:

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/30.0/connection.js")} 
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/30.0/apex.js")} 

var acct = new sforce.SObject("Account"); 
acct.accountId = "{!Account.Id}"; 
acct.MCode = "{!Account.MCountry__c}"; 
acct.MNumber = "{!Account.MNumber__c}"; 


if (acct.MCode == null || acct.MNumber == null){ 
alert("Country and M Number fields are mandatory ") 
} else { 
var response = sforce.apex.execute("Mtest", 
"Mtestmethod", 
{accountId:accountId}); 
if (response == 'true'){ 
alert("Updated successfully.") 
window.location.reload(); 
} else { 
alert("Details could not be updated "); 
}

The logic of this button is that when any of the MCountry__c and MNumber__c fields are empty , an alert message should be displayed "Country and M Number fields are mandatory". Else if these fields contain values, the control should pass to the apex class.

However, in my case when I click on this button from the Account detail page an error message appears stating that 'accountId' is not defined.

I have never worked on javascript before. Can someone please help what is missing or wrong here.

Something like that would be better:

var country = "{!Account.MCountry__c}"; 
var number = "{!Account.MNumber__c}"; 
if (country == null || number == null) {
    alert("Details could not be updated ");
}

  • Even if I am using it this way : var country = "{!Account.MCountry__c}"; var number = "{!Account.MNumber__c}"; if (country == null || number == null) { alert("Details could not be updated "); } else { var response = sforce.apex.execute("Mtest", "Mtestmethod", {accountId:accountId}); the control gets passed to apex class even if the country and number fields are empty. I am trying to display the alert message whenever any of these fields is empty and the control should not pass to the apex class in case those fields are empty.

  • check also if field is empty: if (country == null || country == '' || number == null || number == '')

    @DivSnk There's no need to check for null; the value will always be either an empty string or not. Also, JavaScript doesn't need a comparison that way, you can simply write if(!country || !number).
