ASP Javascript Validation Error -

Help!!!!
Hi, i would appreciate some help on the following validation
error i get the error is -
"The tag: "script" doesn't have an attribute: "runat" in
currently active versions.[XHTML 1.0 transitional]" - where the
code that i have used is -
"<script language="vbscript" runat="server">
function PreserveWhitespace(str)
tabStr =
chr(160)&chr(160)&chr(160)&chr(160)&chr(160)
str = Replace(str,chr(10),chr(10)&"<BR>")
str = Replace(str,chr(9),tabStr)
PreserveWhitespace = str
End Function
</script>"
I've used this code to ensure that the data returned from the
database is correctly formatted - however the validation error is
causing the site not to be w3c validated -
Appreciate the help --

.NET does not support VBScript. If your not using .NET, get
rid of the runat="server"

  • Invoke javascript on validation error?

    Is there any way to invoke some javascript when I get a form validation error?

    I'm having problems with dynamic menus. I was getting that "value is not valid" error because my menus don't identically match the arraylist I initially provide them with in the backing bean. So I decided to just get around it with javascript.
    Anyway I think I have found a solution using this as a guide:

  • JavaScript validation/override red borders?

    We are creating numerous forms in LiveCycle and are very averse to having to specify "User Entered - Required" for two main reasons:
    doing so places those ugly, red boarders around required fields
    most fields on most forms are required, we don't want to clutter our forms with red borders
    The problem we encounter is that users can submit empty forms/null values via email, and I yet to find a way around this. Incomplete forms/data, particularly on things like requisitions and the like, can lead to delays in processing. We want to mitigate that by forcing client-side validation before users submit their forms via email.
    I am very new to both LiveCycle and JavaScript.
    I have tried
    fieldname.mandatory = "This cannot be left blank.";
    tied to the validate event, but this does not seem to do anything: users can still submit forms, even if the value is null/empty.
    Where this would most be used is with text and numeric fields and, occasionally, with radio buttons/exclusion groups.
    Can someone please help me figure out simple client-side JavaScript validation (or other method) that would force users to enter values in these mandatory fields before submitting, preferably without having to subject our users to the hideous borders?

    Thank you; a blog post I found contained the answer I was looking for. Essentially:
    Now you see me, now you don’t.
    Interactive forms highlight where you should enter data. To turn this highlighting on, click the Highlight Existing Fields button.
    The fillable fields within the form (see example below) are highlighted in a light blue color. This lets you enter information into these fields. By default, Adobe® Reader® displays a red border around required fields. Pretty dang ugly, huh?
    Fortunately, it can be turned off.  This script (placed on a form:ready event) will do the trick:
        if (xfa.host.name == "Acrobat")
    app.runtimeHighlight = false;
    Here’s how we achieve this:
    Part 1:
    In the Object palette, click the Value tab. Under Type, choose User Entered – Required.
    First, we need to define which fields are mandantory/required. Click within the desired field to select it.
    You can assign as many mandatory fields as the form requires. When you are finished doing this, enter the Script Editor.
              Note:   To show or hide the Script Editor window as you need it, click the toggle.
    Select the form:ready event. Be sure JavaScript is the chosen scripting language to run on the Client.
    Type the following script into the window:
        if (xfa.host.name == "Acrobat")       app.runtimeHighlight = false;
    Save your work.
    Part 2:
    From the File menu, choose Form Properties.
    Click the Form Validation tab.
                   Click Color Failed Fields.               Check the box next to Color fields and fail their validations.
    To turn borders off, click the arrow next to Border Color, then click the box.
    To define a background color, click the arrow next to Background Color, the choose More Colors.
    Select the first available empty box, then click Define Custom Colors.
    Define a custom color per your visual identity guidelines.
    When you are finished, click on Add to Custom Colors, then click OK.
    Click OK on the Form Properties window.
    Save your work.
    The result? When the user tries to submit a form without first entering data into the required fields, an alert message is displayed.
    When the user clicks OK to clear the error message, form submission is cancelled.
    Failed fields are highlighted in an attractive way—without red borders.

  • How to track a validation error in PL/SQL

    Is there a way in PL/SQL to track the fact that a page is rendered after a validation error?
    I know there is condition type "Inline validation errors displayed" but
    I would like to "translate" in PL/SQL expression. In case I would combine it with other PL/SQL expressions.
    Thanks,
    Marco

    I try to show/hide a div depending on the occurence of errors. I resolved this problem by doing this in javascript.
    function showEdu(){
    $("#edu").animate({ height: 'show', opacity: 'show' }, 'slow');
    $s('P6_EDU_SHOWN','Y');
    function hideEdu(){
    $("#edu").animate({ height: 'hide', opacity: 'hide' }, 'slow');
    $s('P6_EDU_SHOWN','N');
    function checkEduError(){
    if($("span").hasClass("errTxt") == true)
    {showEdu();}
    else
    if($v('P6_EDU_SHOWN') == 'Y')
    {showEdu();}
    else
    {hideEdu();}

  • I have a radio button that loses value on validation error

    Hi All,
    I have a radio button that is normal and then goes to readonly when a condition is true. The page has region with items as well as a tabular report region
    While in readonly state any validation error will cause the radio button to loose it's value.
    ?? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

    OK, Got the checkbox working...
    function SaveRes() {

  • Validation error for non-null throws false error condition

    I am trying to perform a DML (INSERT) with a form element (textbox) that has been disabled on the form.
    The objective is to allow the user to:
    1) disable a form element using javascript when a radio element is selected - works OK using an onclick event
    2) user clicks a button to ENTER (perform a INSERT DML) - here the validation throws an error but I have enabled the previously disabled form element and I have used $x_Value() to input a value into the form element by onsubmit event on button.
    If I remove the validation error trap the DML saves the appropriate value.
    I can create two buttons and it works:
    1 button to enable fields that were previously disabled
    2 button to perform DML. (works if after button 1 I set focus on any form field with my mouse.)
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Knight,
    Thanks for your interest in helping.
    I am trying not to create a situation w/bugs and such. I think I can devise a work around but I would like a more "correct" solution. ;-)
    To explain what I am doing I have a form that a person can use to enter a complaint. The person can give their last - middle - first name but they can also decide to be anonymous. If anonymous they click checkbox. Onclick of checkbox I fire javascript to disable name fields and place "Anonymous" in the last_name disabled field. The user can enter other data and when the user clicks ENTER I want to insert into the DB but the validation error trap of APEX sees a disabled field as a null. I want to place "Anonymous" in the last name field and then save the record with other data besides name.
    To add to it - I can create two buttons 1-button enables and 2-button inserts and the same code works if I touch( give focus) to a field in between enabling and inserting into the DB
    Does that help explain better.
    Thanks again - hope you or someone can help - best regards.

  • JavaScript Runtime Errors in init.debug.js

    I have a custom branding solution for a SharePoint 2013 site collection in Visual Studio.  When I navigate the site collection or debug the solution, I seemingly randomly get Unhandled Exceptions in the /_layouts/15/init.debug.js.  It's rather
    0x800a03ee-JavaScript runtime error:  Expected ')' or 0x80070005 JavaScript runtime error:  Access is denied.  The first error occurs just navigating the site collection.  The second error occurs when I hover over the name with presence
    at the bottom while editing an item.  I haven't edited this script at all, so what can cause this JavaScript that is in the hive to throw exceptions, and what is a good approach to debug it in order to get to the root of the problem?

    Thank you for your response. I'm in a SharePoint 2013 development environment using IE10.  When I added the site collection as a trusted site in the local intranet zone in IE 10, I no longer get the JavaScript runtime related to the name of presence
    and Access.  When I deploy the solution, I do not get any errors.  But if I debug in Visual Studio, the solution, which is set of features that installs a master page with custom navigation, I get this error when I navigate the site collection: 
    Unhandled exception at line 6784, column 13 in layouts/15/init.debug.js?rev=z/JdnR/rlmz5Wvyfz5qrBg==
    0x800a03ee - JavaScript runtime error: Expected ')'
    The error occurs in NotifyScriptLoadedAndExecuteWaitingJobs in init.debug.js, and the call stack goes back to DeltaManager$_ScriptLoader in start.debug.js and eventually to the browserHandler, ScriptResource.axd.
    init.debug.js, correct me if I'm wrong please, is a JavaScript that SharePoint adds during debugging.  If I go in the hive and add that ')' where it breaks, then everything breaks.  Why is this error thrown, and what is the rev parameter at the
    end of the query string?
    The custom master page in the solution being installed has a line:
    <
    asp:ScriptManagerid="ScriptManager"runat="server"EnablePageMethods="false"EnablePartialRendering="true"EnableScriptGlobalization="false"EnableScriptLocalization="true"/>
    I added ScriptMode="Debug", and the errors occur during debugging.  I changed it to ScriptMode="Release", and still got the same errors.
    I'm not sure if and where in the code things are breaking, but I'm having trouble understanding why SharePoint, Visual Studio, and Internet Explorer behave in this manner.

  • Page rendering process doesn't run after validation error

    I have a page rendering process (On Load - After Regions) that needs to be run for my page to be rendered properly; however, it doesn't run when the page is rendered after a validation error. In debug mode, I see the following line:
    "0.05: ......do not perform process because inline validation condition found."
    Is this a bug? Validations are meant to prevent execution of On Submit processes, but is there a reason to also not run rendering processes?
    I need to dynamically construct some javascript and insert it somewhere after a certain item on the page. Is there a workaround?
    Thanks.
    Rodney

    Rodney,
    Let me see if I understand your question:
    1. A page is rendered
    2. The page is submitted
    3. A validation fires and fails
    4. The page is re-rendered displaying the validation error message
    5. Your on-load after regions process did not fire
    You want to run a process in all cases; in the standard page load case (1) and in the re-load case (4).
    You can do this by creating a region of type PL/SQL. You can give the region a null template so that it will not display any values. The region can be the last one displayed on the page; so that it will be run last.
    You also asked if it is a bug that the on-load after regions process did not fire; as the debug message indicates this is proper. Here is an example that illustrates why you typically don't want to perform processes when rendering a page after it was posted causing a validation to fire.
    Lets take the following example:
    1. create a form on the emp table; assume a salary column called "SAL"
    2. create a validation that says the salary must be numeric
    3. edit a row of the EMP table
    4. change the employee job from clerk to manager; and enter a "X" in the salary item
    5. submit the page
    6. the validation will fire; page processing will stop; and the page will be re-displayed
    7. the process which fetches the rows will not fire; and the page will be re-displayed; the job item will display the change from "clerk" to "manager" and salary will still contain the invalid "X" value. If the process had fired it would have replaced the values in the form.
    My recommendation is that you use regions for any processing that is UI releated. I hope this helps.

  • Losing data on a tabular form when submitting a page with validation errors

    I have a window that has a regular HTML form at the top that has several items. Then on the bottom of the page, I have a tabular form where the user can enter multiple rows of information. Unfortunately, when the page is submitted, if there are any validation errors, any changes that were made in the tabular form are lost.
    Any suggestions

    Fair enough :)
    Actually what I was meaning was could I use a collection to repopulate the tabular form when I receive errors. It appears as if it may work. However, I am hitting one snag.
    I have created a PL/SQL Process that runs On Submit and Before Computations/Validations. In this process, I have saving the values in the tabular form to a collection.
    I was then hoping to create another process that ran after any errors occur. However, it does not appear as if any processes run when the screen redraws after a validation issue. Is there a process that runs after validations when the screen is redrawing? Will I need to do this using javascript?
    Thanks

  • Validation error message in popup

    Hello,
    I want to ask if it's possible to display validation error message in a popup window/box? I have searched the forum but couldn't find specific solution.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Edit your label template as above. Remove javascripts mentioned above if you edit same template.
    Include this javascript
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $('#errdialog').find('ul').append($('<li/>',{text:'#ERROR_MESSAGE#'}));
    </script>Then in page where you like use this place to page HTML header
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function(){
    if($('#errdialog').find('li').length>0){
      $('#errdialog').dialog({
       modal:true,resizable:false,
       buttons:{"Ok":function(){$(this).dialog("close")}}
    </script>And to page Header Text
    <div id="errdialog" title="Validation Error !" style="display:none"><ul/></div>Regards,
    Jari

    Hi,
    the ADF Faces component demo provides the following code sample to clean the message stack in such a case
         <af:resource type="javascript">
                * Clears messages for pairs of input components on the page.
                * If there is a validation error on the range of { Start Date, end Date }
                * we clear the message when user enters data in either since the
                * new values may pass validation. If the new values still do not pass
                * validation, they will be flagged on the server and redisplayed.
               function clearValidationMessage (event)
                  var srcId = event.getSource().getClientId();
                  var prefixLength = srcId.indexOf ("StartDate");
                  if (prefixLength != -1)
                     var startDateId = srcId;
                     var endDateId = srcId.substring (0, prefixLength) + "EndDate";
                  else
                     prefixLength = srcId.indexOf ("EndDate");
                     if (prefixLength == -1)
                       // Unable to guess the ids of the startdate, enddate pair
                       return;
                     var endDateId = srcId;
                     var startDateId = srcId.substring (0, prefixLength) + "StartDate";
                 AdfPage.PAGE.clearMessages (startDateId);
                 AdfPage.PAGE.clearMessages (endDateId);
             </af:resource> You need to change the component ID in the script and call it from an af:clientListener

  • Validation error :JBO-27008 vanishes by pressing submit two times???

    Hi All
    I am developing a web application using ADF BC,struts and jsp with JDEV 10.1.3.
    In my JSP page whenever I create a new record, after submit the desired record is submitted into the read-only table below, but I receive the validation error:
    JBO-27008: Attribute set for MaterialName in view object viewJoinPurchaseComplexUnit1 failed.
    Wondering that when I press the submit button again the error vanishes and my data is inserted into the database.
    I'm wondering why I have to press submit two times and then everything goes right? What is wrong among here? what should I do?

    Frank,
    The view in my BC Tester runs very well. Consider I have a viewJoin which is created by joining 4 view objects and I try to insert in one of them and the other views are reference,updateable. in my jsp page(input form) I have to fill in some reference fields in order to display the user what he has selected from the other page(handeled with javascript). Does this have something to do with the problem? when I do not fill the MaterialName field I do not encounter this problem. I have other fields like MaterialName filled from outside and are reference but they are working fine. Also, I do not have this error when Update, delete, Find/execute, and by create when I change the field materialname to null everything goes fine, but all the other transactions(Update, delete, Find/execute) cripple by that.

  • After March Patch Tuesday: Unresolvable Windows 7 Validation errors

    I have had a stable Windows 7 Enterprise installation with the initial MAK Product key for a couple years. After the Microsoft Patch Tuesday monthly set for March was applied, the system started complaining with a popup window "You may be a victim of
    software counterfeiting".  It had a hyperlink entitled "Go online and resolve now" which resolved to
    http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/?OSV=6.1.7601.2.00010100.1.0.004.09.1033&LS=3&LegitCheckError=00000052&GenuineInfo=00000000&Channel=0&ErrCode=00000000
    This presented a new Internet Explorer window "Validation Status: Action Required" with a hyperlink, 'Validate Now" which resolved to
    http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/GenerateHTA.aspx?displaylang=en&Error=52&OSV=6.1.7601.2.00010100.1.0.004.09.1033&GenuineInfo=00000000&ls=3&page=avsValidate
    It resulted in a popup window asking what I wanted to do with legitcheck.hta
    Embedded in its code, it loads some javascript at http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/static/js/CommonFunctions.js"
    I saved legitcheck.hta and then ran it, it loaded an Internet Explorer “DownloadValidationSupport” web page which offered two steps, Download then Continue.
    The Download link was for WindowsActivationUpdate.exe
    I did download WindowsActivationUpdate.exe and run it, but every single time (there were many), after running it, every time if I selected Continue, I always received the messsage:
    Please wait for the install to complete and then click Continue or view the Troubleshooting tips
    At any time (before, during, after) the above processes, if I went to Control Panel - System, at Windows Activation Windows Activation it always stated:
    Status: Not Available
    Product ID: Not Available
    Next I ran the Microsoft Genuine Diagnostics Tool. At the Windows tab it reported:
    Validation info:

    'slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F012' to display the error text.
    Error: 0xC004F012
    If I run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F012' I get the uniformative message popup "An error has occurred .. You can also contact Microsoft (a generic message) ... Details Code: 0xC004F012 Description: The Software Licensing Service reported that the call has
    failed because the value for the input key was not found.
    For "fun" I ran
    cscript slmgr.vbs –rilc
    but the licensing rebuild made no difference in the Windows 7 validation error
    I would like to get the system to actually run a validation check and if necessary require the MAK key. What is the process to eliminate this  bogus "software counterfeiting" state?

    Thank you for your time considering this. The problem seems resolved.
    I noticed that the path was missing for some Start menu items, the icons were not correct. The system environment variables TMP, TEMP, and windir had been deleted. The Windows Activation errors probably started shrotly after the system environment variable
    were deleted.
    After I restored the environment variables to their standard values, I ran WindowsActivationUpdate.exe, it went through the downloading update package, then installing update steps successfully.
    With the standard environment parameters reestablished the MGADiag Copy function worked. I noticed then that it included a lot more information than what is displayed in the one popup window, similar in length to some of the other postings here with output
    from MGADiag
    In the course of troubleshooting the Activation error before posting here, I had issued the slmgr /rearm command to see if its action in resetting the activation timers would allow me to re-enter the MAK.
    When WindowsActivationUpdate completed, then when I went to the Control Panel item for System. I was able to go through the validation process. Now the install is validated again.
    Since the March Patch Tuesday set consisted of 12 updates I can't point the finger at any one for being the root of this problem.
