How do i validate / reaload a page

Hello all!
My page is based on one page with tabs. I'v noticed that
article.setObject(1,getSessionBean1().getTempUserId());is executed only when it is placed in prerender() method;
or am i wrong ?
anyways.... when i switch between tabs prerender isn't called and
article.setObject(1,getSessionBean1().getTempUserId());isn't called either
when i go to another page and get back everything is fine setObject is finally called.
i want to get the same result when going to another tab and get back
please help
thanks for your time !

Hi it's me again ( getting frustraited)
Generally i'v got one page with 2 tabs on it. Within tab1 i have dynamicaly created staticTexts which depend on the parameter i'm changing under tab2.
When i get back to tab1 staticTexts aren't updated
If i go to another page and get back everything is tip top.
What method should i call and where to validate whole page without going to another page and getting back ?
help dEEply appreciated !
t h a n k s !

  • On a form w Validation, how to redirect to a custom page

    Hi. I have created a form in Dreamweaver CS5 that uses spry validation successfully. Once the form is submitted, the user is redirected to the home page. But I don't want that redirect.
    My question is, how can I have the validated page redirect to a custom thank you page I designed? I don't know the exact code/syntax to write to make it do what I want and, even if I had the code, I wouldn't know exactly where it should be placed. Please help if you can. Here's the source code. )BTW, when I use Dreamweaver Behaviors to add a URL redirect, it ignores the required validation and simply allows you to click the submit button and redirect.) Many thanks!

    Thanks for replying. The  URL you've bolded is actually the correct page I'd like the redirect to go to when the form is successfully submitted after validation. But for some reason, that URL request is being ignored and the redirect brings me back to the index page in the root directory. I don't see anywhere in the code that makes the request to do that. Unless that's a default behavior if I've gotten the redirect wrong?
    I don't know if this is helpful, but there is also a .js file that Dreamweaver created and attached to the above HTML source file. The .js file appears to have all the spry code validation including code for features and widgets I'm not even using. I searched through the code several times trying to identify where there might be a redirect to the index page but didn't recognize anything that made sense to me. Here is the complete, unedited file:

        1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A
    Note that it is not necessary to write the leading zeros in an
    individual field, but there must be at least one numeral in every
    field (except for the case described in 2.2.2.).
    2.2.2. Compressed
    The use of "::" indicates multiple groups of 16-bits of zeros.
    The "::" can only appear once in an address.  The "::" can also be
    used to compress the leading and/or trailing zeros in an address.

  • How do i validate ?

    problem : i want to validate my input with a regex.
    my input is "27/12/2005 15:41:20";
    my validation regex pattern is "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"
    How do i validate ?
    I did the following but i can not TRUST because of those outputs. it does not validate
    String str="27/12/2005  15:41:20";
         boolean tf=str.matches("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
         System.out.println(tf); // false !
         boolean tg=!str.matches("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
         System.out.println(tg); // true !
         str="27/12/2005  15:41";
         boolean tk=!str.matches("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
         System.out.println(tk); // true !Please suggest some validation trick .
    Regards

    it's a valid date according to that formatyes. valid date really.
    i tried this also,
    boolean okGood = java.util.regex.Pattern.matches("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss","27/12/2005  15:41:");
         System.out.println(okGood); this too does not not work.
    In fact i have this code,
    some relevalt piece of code which i am using
    String startTime = (String)f.get("StartTime"); // f is dyna form in Struts
    // blah
    ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
              if (startTime == null || (startTime.matches("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"))) {
              errors.add("start time", new ActionError("startTime"));
              }This validation is not proper.
    so, i want my user should input date only in that format , otherwise i am going to redirect him to the index.jsp page again for re-input with warning.

    Thank you

    If you want to validate at client side, you need to create a javascript function (validation) and add it to the "onBlur" attribute of the TextField component In the propertysheet (Set it via JavaScrip->onBlur in the property sheet). To put the Actual Java Script, you need to edit the JSP page. If you need to do it server side, create a custom validator.

  • How do I go back a page on the Ipad mini? I do not see any arrows anywhere. Also when I go to my yahoo email account and open an email I can not find how to go back and log out. This is our first Ipad and it is very different frm android. Thanks

    We just purchased our first Ipad. It is a mini with retina display 16 GB. How do I go back a page? I see no arrows to page back. Also when I log into  a yahoo email account and open an email I see now way to log out? Thank you for any help

    In Safari, (the web browser), there are specific arrows to go back and forward through website pages.
    In other Apps, it will depend on how the App is built.
    As to Yahoo Mai it depends on where you are viewing the email.  If you are using the Mail App, then you don't log out.     The Mail accounts in the Mail App are always there.
    If you are using the Yahoo App, You can Tap on the folder at the top, then on your account/name, and then on Sign Out.

    how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    Jim,
    Take heart.  We can help.
    First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s).  A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics.  Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
    "View > Show Print View":
    Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages.  If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
    Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
    slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:

    how do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    What that button does is sync your tabs between your devices. So if you have multiple macs with Mountain Lion and/or devices with iOS 6 (once it comes out this fall) you can pick up where you left off. For example, let's say I have apple.com, nytimes.com, and facebook.com open on my mac, but I need to run. Later, if I need to use another computer in my household, I can just restore the tabs that I was using before on this other mac.
