How can I have a Popup window in Browser enabled Form

[Paul D. Fox]

I am creating a Browser Enabled InfoPath form and need to launch a Pop up
alert in my Try Catch Event. Does anyone have sample code?

There is no way to add a popup alert in browser-enabled forms. Because form
services doesn't allow to use javascript in the form.

A bad way is that using a custom asp.net page which hosts your infopath form
in a xmlformview control. In this way you can embed the javascript code to
the aspx page and you can call from form events. But i think it's good.

You can use infopath controls and rules to hide/show info messages.

Hi,
Use an expression box which hides if blank, and shows when text is placed
into it. Then when you want to display a message, you populate that field,
and the expression box displays. Not the best choice in many cases, but it
works.
