I am a beginner in Salesforce. I am trying to implement a code wherein user will get a alert message (some sort of notification ) when a field value is null. Although it will allow the user to save that record. I wrote a VF page. that I will embed with the standard page layout. Let me know if that is the correct approach.

<apex:page standardController="Opportunity" action="{!markread}" extensions="OppExtension">
<script>
      if(!Opportunity.Country__c != null {
          alert("Please fill in the country details");
      }
</script>
</apex:page>

and my extension controller:

public with sharing class OppExtension {
     ApexPages.StandardController controller;
     public OppExtension(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
         this.controller = controller;
     }
     public void markread() {
         Opportunity o = (Opportunity) controller.getRecord();
         o.MessageShown__c = true;
         update o;
     }
 }

  • Hi, problem here is ..the layout where I am planning to add this logic is a standard object's page layout. so I am not sure how to use "document.getElementById(ReceiveInputID).value" in this page since I do not know "ReceiveInputID"'s avlue here. – Apurbo Aug 07 '14 at 09:54
