Can someone recommend a good book on InfoPath 2003 design and programming,
complete with reference on commands, properties, methods, etc?
I have been floundering in InfoPath ever since I was thrown in without any
training besides what can be freely found on the internet. I can load
controls onto forms and apply some rules and minimal formatting, but any time
I need to actually write or debug code, I feel like a dinosaur in tarpit.
I have failed to do the absolute simplest of commands, the first program
newbies ever write in their first programming language class, which is to
display a message on the screen. I set up a test button on my form, and
added this code to the OnClick function:
alert( "at least this works");
Except it didn't.
I then recalled one of the assignments in the tutorial that displayed an
error message to the user if an invalid value was entered, and dug out the
line of code that displayed the message:
eventObj.ReportError(eventObj.Site, "at least this works", false)
And that didn't work either. Of course, that code was used in an event for
validation of a textbox, while this is for the click of a button, so Site may
not even be a valid property and ReportError may not be a valid method.
Lacking Intellisense, I can't see what's available.
I have been through the Javascript tutorial in W3School and it's not
helping. I have sent my boss a list of courses available for a price and
gotten no response. Like the Hebrews in Egypt, I am apparently expected to
make bricks without straw.
