I've an input field in the form which is displayed based on the user selection. Initially it is set to 'display:none' and I do have a validation rule for that field.
How do I skip validation on this hidden input field and only validate when its displayed on the page.
I am using the validate plugin with the defaultvalue plugin (empty fields given a default value and class of empty), and would like to use it together with the validator plugin. Is there a way to mark required fields with only the default value (and class empty) as invalid on submit?
E.g.: First_name field is required by validate, has a default value of "Enter your first name" and class of "empty" - how can I get the validator to mark this as invalid?
In another thread I found that a good way to show and hide parts of a form based on previous entries would be as follows:
function showhidefield (method) {
var hideablearea = document.getElementById("hideablearea");
var hideablearea2 = document.getElementById("hideablearea2");
var hideablearea3 = document.getElementById("hideablearea3");
switch (method) {
case "1":
hideablearea.style.display = 'block';
hideablearea2.style.display = 'none';
hideablearea3.style.display = 'none';
break;
case "2":
hideablearea.style.display = "none";
hideablearea2.style.display = "block";
hideablearea3.style.display = "block";
break;
case "3":
hideablearea.style.display = "block";
hideablearea2.style.display = "block";
hideablearea3.style.display = "block";
break;
default:
hideablearea.style.display = "none";
hideablearea2.style.display = "none";
hideablearea3.style.display = "none";
}}
I know how to use javascript to validate that the forms are infact filled but how do I make it so that it doesn't scan the hidden forms. The only way I could think of would be a huge bunch of if statements. Is there any other way to do this?
I am using a script that tabs to the next field on Enter, but it doesn't have logic to deal with hidden fields and instead stalls with "Error: Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus."
How would one implement a simple checking mechanism to skip focus on hidden fields and the like?
I want to validate my forms when clicking only on submit button. Here is my code.
[Code]...
The problem is it fires the validation to every button in the form. how can I do the validation only for the submit button and skip the validation to other button clicks?
I have a form in which there are two radio buttons .
On selecting the first radio button1 , two textboxes are displayed ( textbox1 & textbox2 ).
& On selecting the second radio button2 only One textbox is
displayed (textbox1) & another one (textbox2) get hidden .
what i am trying to do is that when radio button1 is selected & so two textboxes are displayed, then Onsubmit throw alert for two textboxes seperately , to Enter value in them if this text boxes are blank .
But if radio button2 is selected then throw alert for Entering value for only one text box (textbox1) if its value is blank , & Skip alert throw for the another one hidden textbox(textbox2) .
how i can achieve this using JS .
I have multiple fields in a form with the same name. Lets call the fields with the same name "junk_array". My first field of junk_array is a input type=hidden. All the others fields in junk_array that follow are type=text. I can reference this first hidden field in IE with document.form.field[0].value. In, fact my form works absolutely wonderful in IE 6. However, netscape 4.7 does not recognize my first field in the array as the hidden field. Netscape sees the first visible text field as the first field in the array, subscript 0. What totally and utterly perplexes me, is that, from a previous thread, I can do this and get 9999 back in an alert
box in Netscape and IE. So, this proves Netscape doesn't have some evil code that disregards hidden fields. I guess...
<body onload="alert(document.myForm.test[0].value);">
<form name="myForm">
<input type="hidden" name="test" value="9999">
<input type="hidden" name="test" value="8888">
<input type="text" name="test" value="6">
<input type="text" name="test" value="3">
</form>
I even copied these fields directly below the opening <form> tag in my form and both Netscape and IE see the first hidden field as as
subscript 0.
However, my form is much more complicated. I have tables within tables and about 30 other fields. In my form I cannot for the life of me get Netscape to recognize the first hidden field of junk_array to zed as index 0.
Somehow, If I make the first type=hidden fields visible, netscape does work nicely. Why when I toggle type=hidden to type=text does Netscape cooperate. What is happening here? Anyone else have this problem with hidden fields in Netscape? I could post the code to my form but it is
big.
I want to loop thru all the hidden fields on the page, that have an ID which starts with "general_" and ends in "_10". Eg IDs:
id = "general_name_10"
id = "general_link_10"
id = "general_price_10"
How can I do such a loop in jQuery?
There are two input fields in a form, but only one of them is required, they are not required at the same time. Either A or B is required. ( A is required OR B is required). In other words, a user can input data to field A, or he can input data to filed B, but he can not input data to Both A and B at the same time. How to implement this constraint in Jquery form validation?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form I'm going to present to visitors. The goal is that when a visitor enters a Zip Code, for the form to compare that Zip Code submitted to Zip Codes that I'll hide in the form. I'm not sure if it's better to have the hidden zip code values as comma separated or just let them have their own individual hidden input fields. When the form is submitted, I need it to check and find out if the submitted zip code matches any of the hidden zip codes. If any of the hidden values match the submitted value, I want to be able to have a hidden div be shown, but if the form is submitted and there are no zip codes that match, show another div.
Something like this:
<form>
I'm using the validation plugin by jorn, but I kinda needed to validate two text box, something like a serial number

I've started using jquery validation on my forms. Often, I need to pre-process a field before I want to validate it. For example, if someoneforgets to prefix http:// before an url, I can just do that, instead of returning error messages. Or sometimes, a field needs to be lowercased and I can just do that, too. I've found ways to do that, but it feels like a hack. Am I missing a feature ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form which we append fields to when a user clicked a button. This is all working great.
However we need to be able to track and block when a user clicks the enter key.
We have the following code which works great when there is just one row of fields, however when we append the extra form it doesn't work on them...
$('.code').keyup(function(e) {
alert(e.keyCode);

I have a large form. One part of it is a column with selects. All drop-downs initially set to "No". The only other option is "yes". I need to make sure that at least one select is set to "yes". Any number, even all of them can be changed to "yes", but only one is required. I can easily add a rule that requires all the fields of the certain class to have certain type of value, but can't think of a way in js to only have one required. I can easily count number of "yes" values with PHP and prevent submitting on the back end, but would really like to have jquery do it first.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically I'm using the plugin to validate a form. I've got the basics set up and working. Now I'm trying to use remote so that I can check for a duplicate email address. The problem is as soon as I add my checking script the validation stops working on the email field completely. It constantly says "please enter a valid email address" no matter what I put in the field. If I don't have the remote bit in my code the email field validation works correctly. Here is my site: [URL].
This is my code:
login.js
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#content form').validate({
rules: {
title:{
required: true
},
name: { .....
the validator plugin for jquery is really cool, but i need the possibility to also mark a field as valid (not only disappear the invalid message), a simple "is valid" label would be sufficient..i tried to change the sources, but that seems rather complicated
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form with dynamic fields. Each set of new fields contains two fields that are required. I validate them by using a class. The downside is that if you have 3 lines of fieldsets you get 6 validation errors if you leave them empty. Is there any way to "group" these messages? The fieldsets contain a from and to date. So if you leave them empty you get a message "Check from fields" ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI hope this is the right place for my question. I have a working form and all iss great using this jQuery Form Validation PlugIn from brassistance. Now I got in trouble by having a Form which will get extended by user inputs. To explan in detail: I have a Form with static fields and so on. But then if the User selects in the form the amount of Persons, I append Name and Surename Text Fileds to the static form and give the form fileds dynamically generated names. now have the problem to validate the dynamically generated text fields in that form!

I dynamically create a hidden form field with some javascript. It works fine, the field gets created and filled in with whatever the user types in the prompt popup. But even though I have specified type="hidden" it is still displaying the field contents at the bottom of my form.
var newvar = document.createElement('input');
newvar.setAttribute('name',varname);
newvar.setAttribute('type','hidden');
newvar.setAttribute('value',Prompt.show("Enter notes"));
document.mainform.appendChild(newvar);
I have the below code in an html page and, since I cannot change the hidden types to text (no control whatsoever on the form), I manually add the values in the code. Clients only need to press "Submit", which is the only visible part of the form on the screen, and they are then taken to a page outside of my website.
Code:
<FORM action="...................." method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="Charge" value="0,00">
<input type="hidden" name="MerchantCode" value=".....">

What I want to do is add two Text Fields in the html page where the above code is given to allow clients to add text and somehow "feed" this text to the values of the hidden fields Param1 and Param2. This way, the added text will show up in the page outside of my website where the clients are taken after they submit the form.
Sorry if I?m posting this in the wrong forum but I couldn?t figure out through an internet search if js is required for what I want to do. I have the below code in an html page and, since I cannot change the ?hidden? types to ?text? (no control whatsoever on the form), I manually add the values in the code. Clients only need to press "Submit", which is the only visible part of the form on the screen, and they are then taken to a page outside of my website.

I have the following html, field xxx requires a number from 0 to 100 when percentage is selected, and 0 to inifinity when dollar is selected.what's the best practice to setup validation for this?the key is to control the maximum value.I have tried depends expression in a max rule, but it doesn't seem that it can satisfy my requirement.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm poking at a small "single page application" (SPA), ala TiddlyWiki,
to act as kind of a local, single-user version of Twitter (no real
application, except to familiarize myself with JavaScript). Right now
I'm using a hidden field to hold JSON, which is currently my flat-file
database of posts.
Is there a better way to store JSON data in a SPA other than hidden
fields? I'm Googling now to allay or confirm my concerns, but I'm
worried that there may be some upper limit to how much data you can cram
in the value of one.
I'm using JSON mostly because (a) I really prefer it to XML in
JavaScript applications, (b) it seems (key word, "seems") smart to
separate my post data from posts (so I can show n-number of posts at a
time), and (c) I really dislike parsing XML in JavaScript when JSON
seems like a viable alternative. (Though, given my size/space if JSON
isn't going to work, I'm not averse to using XML.)
