validation : Messages : 369-398 of 427

I have been using your excellent validation script for some time
without any problems, but have found a problem when using the latest
versions of browsers. IE7 beta, Opera 9.0 and Firefox 1.5 all have the
same problem and yet IE6 and IE5.5 work perfectly.

There are no errors reported but when multiple items in a multiple
select list are selected, only the first selected items is actually
passed across. It doesn't matter whether the form action is GET or
POST, still only the first selected item comes through.

If I comment out the call to this.setup(); in the code then the
multiple values do get passed across without problem so this is
certainly caused by something in the script.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

looks like a bug alright.  i must have changed the name of the
variable in only part of the function.  i'll be sure to add a test
case for it to my JsUnit test suite.  it looks like the fix is just to
change "setElement" to "element" in that function.

unfortunately, that behavior is by design.  the "isValidElement"
private method specifically prevents validation on disabled and
readonly elements.  you have a number of options for doing the
validation you want.  the easiest is probably to operate on the
validation script directly and remove the readOnly check.

there's also a hook for performing operations before and after
validation for an entire form.  you /could/ turn readOnly off and on
again that way.

Using version 3.2.0 (beta)

My code:
<html>
<head>
<link href="../style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1" method="POST">
   <input class="form" name="test" type="text" id="test" size="20"
maxlength="20" display-name="Test" required="on"></td>
   <select class="form" id="blah" name="blah" style="width:200">
     <option value="None">None</option>
   </select>
   <input class="form" type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<script src="/validation3/validation.js" language="JScript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">Validation.showPopup = true;</script>
</body>
</html>

Generates the following error:
Line: 694
Char: 5
Error: 'setElement' is underfined
Code: 0
...

If I take out the class="form" in both the SELECT and INPUT button, I
do not get the error.

No error is generated when it is in the first SELECT box (text input).

TIA,
Chris

Is it possible to validate read only fields? I am using a pop-up window
to change the contents of a text field, and wish to validate it
as "required".

When I include readonly="true", the field does not seem to be validated.

I am using version 3.1.4.

<form name="incident" method="POST" action="" validate-onchange="false"
invalid-color="yellow" mark="true">
<input name="proj_name" type="text" class="form" id="proj_name"
value="" size="50" maxlength="50" required="true" readonly="true">

are you using the validation script from the Files section?  if you
are, you only need to set the datetime attribute of the field you want
to validate:

<input name="date" id="date" type="text" datetime="MM/DD/YYYY hh:nn:ss" />

or

document.getElementById("date").datetime = "MM/DD/YYYY hh:nn:ss ampm";

if you want to use a 24 hour clock, use hh24 instead of hh.  if not,
i'd recommend using the ampm token, though no tokens are required.

I don't intend to go so far as to create some kind of custom API
project.  I was intending more to separate the noise from the actual
implementation of the validation mess--more of a clean-up of a
too-large script than anything else.

I also don't want to inject a dependence on another external framework
or script--I want to make sure you all can do things the way you like
to.  That's why I'm trying to leave more hooks as I go through this
round of refactoring, including the idea of overridable default values
and functions.  That way you can write, for example, your own
mechanism for marking required or invalid fields.

I'm not too familiar with WebForms 1 or 2.  If you feel like kicking
off some sort of group discussion for that, I'd hope others would like
to contribute.  In fact, I'd like to see this whole thing progress on
a more open source path than what it is now.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm not a neutral user of your script :-) but something I would like to

I've been working lately on updating the validation script to handle
more XXX and yield more opportunities for customizing behavior and
whatnot.  As I progress, I'm finding that I'm extracting more and more
to what appears more like DOM/JavaScript API extensions.  What does
everyone think of my splitting the API script from the validation
script?

The effect would be the addition of an extra script file to include.
I will probably write some mechanism to attempt an include
automatically for backwards compatibility reasons, but it then extends
the opportunity of using the API stuff to everyone else.  Do you all
even care?

i'm running jetty for development, so that could be the problem to

I unpacked the Zip file into a directory on my IIS web server and tried
to open validation.htm. I received a general script error on "line 99".
Since there's no line 99 in validation.htm I assume it's talking about
line 99 in the validation.js file.

Any thoughts?

nb. I don't get the same error when I open the file directly in IE 6.0
from a folder on my desktop...

so i've already found an issue in this beta with IE.  seems IE's
javascript implementation doesn't support 'delete'.  or at least my
use of it.

has anyone checked out the "run-time getter closure" for properties?
i'm interested in getting feedback on this technique.  for a given field:

    <input type="text required=@..." ... />

you can evaluate script almost like a getter.  i was personally tired
of writing extra script in event handlers to keep all the properties
updated.  i'm sure there's more i can do with it (like supporting IE)
so  i wanna know what you think.

i've used something like this before:

*****************
with (document.forms[0]) {
	 radioButtonGroup[0].OR= [radioButtonGroup[1]];
	 dropdown.AND = [radioButtonGroup[1]];
}
*****************

you may have difficulty in getting this to work if you rely on
selectedIndex to determine validity.  generally, the value of the
control determines validity by default.  you can always write custom
script for the onvalidate event, a hook included to enable more
complex validation.

i don't think the "msg" attribute on the OR object works in the latest
version.  i think it requires the use of "OR-MESSAGE" on the element.

     element.OR = [anElement, anotherElement];
     element["OR-MESSAGE"] = "Please choose An Element or Another
Element.";

at that point, i'd just update the script.  i think that's the path of
least resistance.

I was afraid that custom validation was going to be the answer... This page
has about 300 lines of Javascript field validation code. I was hoping to use
Validate to eliminate that code.

Of course if all the multiple select fields have the same Default value then
I could probably code a general purpose custom validation for the
multiple-select boxes... Hmm... I'll have to think about this one...

the code for determining the value of a select-multiple:

**************************************
case "select-multiple" :
       for(var i=0,iOptions=element.options.length; i<iOptions; i++)
             if(element.options[i].selected &&
trim(element.options[i].value.toString())){
                   returnValue=true;
                   break;
             }
       break;
**************************************

if there is at least one option selected that has a non-empty value,
the control will pass required validation.  if you want to include 0
as an empty value, you can alter the logic in your copy of the script
or you can create a custom onvalidate handler that accomplishes the
same thing.

the code for determining the value of a select-multiple:

**************************************
case "select-multiple" :
	 for(var i=0,iOptions=element.options.length; i<iOptions; i++)
		 if(element.options[i].selected &&
trim(element.options[i].value.toString())){
			 returnValue=true;
			 break;
		 }
	 break;
**************************************

if there is at least one option selected that has a non-empty value,
the control will pass required validation.  if you want to include 0
as an empty value, you can alter the logic in your copy of the script
or you can create a custom onvalidate handler that accomplishes the
same thing.

I have an input field in a form that is <SELECT MULTIPLE
NAME="mslist" REQUIRED="on">. If I fill in the form and Submit it I
don't get any validation error that nothing was selected. Could this
be because the default ("empty") first entry is "selected"? If so is
there a way to check that at least one entry is selected AND the
value is <> "" (or <>0 depending on the list...).

I'm running v3.1.4.

I've put that line in and the problem seems to have
cleared up fine.

Thanks for your help.

  if it sails for you, i'll drop another update.
