validation

[Jay]

Hello all,

I'm very new to ASP.NET and I am using VS.NET to write my pages.

I am using the Regular Expression Validator on my form and I would like it
to check a field to make sure it does not equal 0. Can anyone point me to
some resources with this type of information?

Thanks,

- J

While you could use a RegExVal for this and check for [^0] or something, you
could also use a requiredfieldvalidator and set the initialvalue="0"

Hi all!

Can you please help me here?

I need to validate a form with get method and textarea input....

I tried

A)
<script Language="JavaScript">
function validRequired(formField,fieldLabel)
{
var result = true;

if (formField.value == "")
{
alert('Invalid entry. Please type information.');
formField.focus();
result = false;
}

return result;
}
function validateForm(theForm)
{
if (!validRequired(theForm.question,""))
return false;

return true;
}
</script>


<cfoutput>
<FORM ACTION="#ActionURL#" METHOD="GET">

<TR>
<TD><!---<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="question" VALUE="<CFIF
IsDefined("question") AND question NEQ "">#question#</CFIF>" >&nbsp;</td>--->
<textarea name="question" rows="2" cols="30" MAXLENGTH=""><cfif
isDefined("url.question")>#Trim(url.question)#</cfif></textarea>
</TD>
<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>&nbsp;
<TD valign="bottom">
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" NAME="Submit" VALUE="Search">
</TD>
</TR>
</FORM>
</cfoutput>

B) I also tried server-side validation:

<cfscript>
if (Len(Trim(url.question)) EQ 0)
{
var_error = "Please enter keyword for search.";
break;
}
</cfscript>

None of these worked....
Thanks

In your JS example, you don't seem to be calling validateForm() anywhere to
get the whole process going. Add an onSubmit handler to the form tag:

<FORM ACTION="#ActionURL#" METHOD="GET" onSubmit="return validateForm(this)">

Thanks, I tried that and is not working...It directs me to the next page without throwing an error message prior to that.. Whoud it matter since I pass variable as url? I don't think so...

The error is probably there, but the browser is just skipping it and
submitting anyway. I highly recommend using Netscape/Mozilla/FireFox for JS
debugging and opening up the JavaScript console. This gives you much more
information about JS problems than IE does.

You may also want to change:

if (!validRequired(theForm.question,""))
return false;

return true;
}

to:

if (!validRequired(theForm.question,"")) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}

just to be explicit about the if blocks.

As long as you can be sure that your user has javascript enabled, try changing
your submit button:

<INPUT TYPE="Submit" NAME="Submit" VALUE="Search">

to

<INPUT TYPE="button" name="btnSubmit" value="Search"
onClick="validateForm(this.form);">

then change the validateForm function to:

function validateForm(theForm)
{
if (validRequired(theForm.question,""))
{
theForm.submit();
}
}

You also want to be careful using name="submit" becuase you can sometimes
create bump into a reserved word issue.

Hi,

I'm using Yaromat for validation the update form

It works fine.
but you can't validate on like this example
for example
if checkbox = true
messagebox " textbox is mandantory"
end if

is there a way to do this?

please advise

Have a few questions for anyone out there who has a answer or who can point me
in a direction to find the answers.
The one thing that really bugs me in Dreamweaver is there open ended
statements. Like:
The tag: "td" doesn't have an attribute: "width" in currently active
versions.[XHTML 1.0 strict] I ask myself? OK, so give me a solution to the
problem? maybe im missing something but when I come across something like this
where should I go to get a answer?
I keep thinking there should be some kind of button " Fix It" in dreamweaver...
Thanks

It means you're trying to use the 'width' attribute in a <td> tag, which
isn't valid according to the DTD that you're using (XHTML 1.0 strict). The
answer is to get rid of the 'width' attribute and replace it with CSS.

I have one more request of anyone out there.
when I go to place a flash file on my doc. dreamweaver adds a embed statment
to the code, this statment is: The tag name: "embed" Not found in currently
active versions.[XHTML 1.0 transitional]

Do you know away around this??
