JQuery :: Elements Not Validating Until After Focus?
Jun 3, 2011
I've used this plugin many times and this is the first problem I've had with it (1.8.1). I've uploaded my standalone version (unstyled) here to demo: [link redacted, see reply for solution] try submitting the form, then focusing on some fields and attempting to resubmit. I have a form with 6 fields, all required (class attribute 'required' has been added to them all). On submit, only 2 of the fields display an error message as they should. The other fields do not act as required. Filling in data for the 2 working fields and re-submitting will work, when it shouldn't be.
However, if I click through to focus on the fields, they will appear to "get" the validator property. Clicking submit how, however, will actually toggle the error message on and off. I have never seen this kind of behavior in the past and am scratching my head how to proceed. I have checked in Chrome and Firefox, I have re-downloaded the plugin and used various jQuery versions, I have stripped out the functionality to a completely separate standalone page to remove any potential conflicts. Markup and JS validates. No luck.
I am trying to throw in some client-side validation to my php web form. My problem is that only one field is actually getting validated. Here is the code:
Form: onSubmit="return checkForm(this);"
script: function checkForm(form) { var firstname = document.getElementById("wpFirstName").value; var lastname = document.getElementById("wpLastName").value;
The if statement evaluating the last name field is the only statement that evaluates to true. It seems the first statment is bypassed. Any ideas? PS. the element with the id lastNameError/firstNameError is in a div tag.
I have two form elements, the first one I'm testing for a specific content length (5). If there is not that much content in the box, I would like it to continue to have focus.
However my code below will not set the focus back.. What am I missing?
I am using a validating form plug in for jquery and I have a question about it. Let this function will be an ex.:
[Code]....
'e' is the name attribute of one form element, but can I choose more elements using jquery (CSS) rules like this: input[name*=e] or how can I do something similar?
I am creating a plugin that gives keyboard navigation to tabular table acrossmultipletables.When I have rowsthat run off screen I would like to scroll the window down.. and the reverse is true, when navigating up.Logically I need to get the position of the element that has focus and specify how much to scroll the window.
i want to control the 'Enter' key to set focus to the next element in the form(instead of 'Tab'). and i want to know which element had the focus when the Keypress even of the form is called. how can i get that?
I need to have the cursor appear in the first input box on various pages. When I use the onLoad event in the body tag it works, but anywhere else it doesn't.
The problem is aside from my intro page, most of my other pages use a header and footer on the server side. The body tag is inside the header so I don't have access to it on the other pages. I tried adding a simple function at the bottom of the page, but it does not work.
<script> function setFocus(){ frm.Name.focus(); } setFocus(); </script>
The default behaviour of focus() method is displaying the cursor at start of the char(In FF focusOffset is 0(zero) and anchorOffset is 0(zero)). I need to display the focus at end of char after calling focus() method.
I'm currently making a web application which needs to be fully compatible with iPad. The functions I've implemented so far work perfectly on Firefox, Internet Explorer and other browsers. However, the iPad itself responds a bit different. After a certain action, I want to put focus on a textfield with the help of Javascript. Again, this works perfectly with the normal browser, the iPad browser however seems to be blocking the focus. The reason I'm not posting any code is because it's basically irrelevant. All I do is:
Is there a reason why setting focus to a textbox input, also gives focus to a submit button on the page, to where if you click enter in the text box, the submit button will be clicked.
I think the problem is cause by my lack of understanding of how the browser (firefox 3.6.3) handles focus.A simplified version of my problem is:I've defined the function
function two_focus() { document.getElementById("two").blur();
I'm working on a site where the name attribute of an input will not be known beforehand. I'd like to be able to modify or extend the validate plugin to set the rules and messages based off of the id of an input instead of using the name.
I'm experimenting with the load() function. It works fine except when I try to validate (using jQuery Validate).
I have a page called "index.php" which contains the bulk of my code (including the jQuery validate call). The load function calls in a div from another page which we'll call foo.php. The page loads fine, but it just won't validate. I've wondered if you simply can't validate a "load"ed page, but I find that hard to believe.
Is there a way to set the focus on a form field without using focus()? I use ajax to build the form and if I try to set the focus using focus() an error is generate because of the form hasn't been built by ajax. So, it would be nice if I could set the focus() as I built the form.
I am using the Jquery validationss plugin for my form validations. NowI have a situation where I have two submit buttons in a single form(say button A and button B). For button A, I want to run validationsbut for button B I don't want to run the validations and submit theform without validating.. How can i do this?
<form> <div id="portion1"> ... some inputs ... </div>
[code]....
By default, only #portion1 is visible. If inputs inside it are all valid, #portion2 will be visible and #portion1 will be hidden, and so on. The problem is that jQuery Validate will only validate the whole form, so something like $('#portion1').validate().form() won't work.
I need to check that a user's birthday has been filled out completely, using drop down menus. I can validate each of the menus individually (see code below), but what i really want to do is make one check that all three are selected so that I don't have 3 extra error labels.
I am using the validation plugin, and I would like to cause the error message of one of the validation rules to appear immediately when the page loads, before any actual validation takes place. Can this be accomplished in some way, perhaps using javascript? Below is an example form, I would like the "Field is required" message to appear normally next to the input, as soon as the page loads. When the user edits the content of the input, the message should remain or disappear depending on the validation rule, as normal.
I'm creating a form that will only allow user with specific at email addresses to be able to submit the form. For instance, these are preferred customers from say a company called Sanderson. Michael may have the email michael@sanderson.com. I want to make sure that my form only excepts emails from this company; only specific @sanderson.com email addressesHow can I do that?Right now I'm trying to use:
There can be any number of 'groups' but I would want to apply some validation for each item in a group. I can only see that the validation is done by specifying a id? however as the id's are going to be dynamically created how can I do this? can you validate for a css class?
Is there a way to validate a form using a link and NOT a submit button? I have a link on my form that I'm using as a submit button to do some ajax posting. However, I need to validate some of the input fields before the data is sent to the database.
I am sure that this is a BASIC question for javascript gurus but I'm struggling to resolve.The form starts with the cursor focus in the FROM ACCT NUMBER FIELD. When I tab to the next field without entering any value in this text field I want to send an alert to the user that the field is required and put the cursor back on that field. I attempted to do that using:
$(function() { $("#ARTransferForm\:fromAccountNumber").blur(function() { var fromAcctNumLen = $("#ARTransferForm\:fromAccountNumber").val().length;
I am stuck on this seemingly simple validation loop.I want to iterate through a list of comma separated emails entered in a textarea input and check their validity before submitting the form.For some reason even when I enter all valid emails every other email doesn't pass the validation test!
var okEmailArr = badEmailArr = new Array(); var emails = $('#emailList').val(); // Get email list from text are input[code]....
I am validating my form fields using jquery validate plugin. but itsnot executing my methods. its hitting my validate() method but notactual validation code.I am pasting my code here for your reference.My javascript code:
mysite.validateFormFields = function() { alert('here'); [color=green] [b]// its hitting here [/b][/color]
