HTML 5 FORM VALIDATION
Hi,
I'm trying to validate forms in my website with Safari but it seems not to recognize the attribute required (<input type="text" name="name" required />)
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
JB
Carolyn,
I have the same question regarding safari not recognizing "required" in the html5 form validation. I checked out the link you provided, but didn't find an answer.
Can you help?
Thanks,
Arnie

HTML form validation in JEditorPane
Hi,
I'm trying to add some browser capabilities to my java application.
For example, imaging that i would like to run the google website inside my java application in a JEditorPane.
I managed to let the JEditorPane handle the links, but I don't know how it is possible to let the textfield and submitbutton work properly.
Especialy when the form-method of the site is POST.
In short I would like a small browser as a component in my application.
I can't find a way to do this.
All ideas are welcome :-)
Thanks very much
THiNGTake a look at this thread, it explains how you can get the elements of the HTML document inside the JEditorPane.

Validating HTML form generated by servlet
Hi, folks. I have a dynamic html form generated by a servlet class. Once user fills up the form and submits it, i have another servlet does the form validation. My question is how can i reload the generated html form with error messages when user's inputs failed validation?
I am not able to use JavaScript pop-up windows for doing validation cause the page will be displayed on PDA and cell phone as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.Could you combine the servlets.
I'm not sure but then you may be able to have the generator servlet in the doGet method and the validator in the doPost method. (don't quote me on this)
If you combine the servlets you have access to the original data (the form), that way if any validation errors occur you can repost the form with their entered data and an error message. -
Why is HTML showing in the form validation message?
Here is what is showing when I use server side form validation.
<ul><li>You must select a location </li></ul> Go <a href="javascript:history.back()">back</a> and correct the problem.
Obviously, the HTML tags are not supposed to be shown. What's going on here? I just upgraded to CF9 on Linux and this started happening. Any ideas?It's a standard CF server-side form validation and looks like this on the form:
<input type="hidden" name="somefield_required" value="some field is a required field">
When they submit the form (and didn't enter something for somefield), the automatic message comes up. The formatting of the message is messed up on CF9. I've been using this type of server-side validation for years (probably since CF5) and have never seen this problem before.
Actually, this works fine on another server (CF 9,0,0,251028) but on CF 9,0,1,274733 it is having this issue. Both are running CF Enterprise on Linux.
Error message is supposed to look like this:
Form entries are incomplete or invalid.
some field is a required field
Go back and correct the problem.
The messed up message looks like this:
Form entries are incomplete or invalid.
<ul><li>some field is a required field</li></ul> Go <a href="javascript:history.back()">back</a> and correct the problem. -
HTML 5 Contact Form "Placeholder" instead of label makes form validation not work
Hi,
I am trying to implement a HTML 5 contact form which uses a "placeholder" within the field instead of a label. But now the form validation does not work.
The site is at http://www.partnerrealestate.ch/avenuedefrance23/index.html and it is not using any workflows from BC as the person receiving it is an external person and the process does not require a workflow.
Would appreciate any input into this.
Kindest Regards,
corinaThere is no label on input fields. The form does not work because you have edited the names. BC needs the ID and names to be as it is issue when you create the form so it knows what to use for the validation and what information to pass into the database.
So where you have edited these, you need to restore those.
You have some invalid html on some input's as well one has input="" inside of it when rendered so that is not right.
It is not to do with placeholder use. So fix up your HTML errors, correct the name and ID changes and it will work fine. -

______________________________________________________________________________________________________Pete:
Remove the name attributes from all input elements defined by the pl/sql process. For example
<input name="company" type="Text" size="30"/> should be replaced by <input type="Text" size="30"/> or <input name="f01" type="Text" size="30"/>
The APEX accept process recognises a predefined set of HTML form input names. Any input with a name not from this set will cause the accept process to fail. f01 through f50 are valid names for the accept procedure.

Is there a way to bypass the form Validation
I'm getting really upset with the Coldfusion built-in form validation for any HTML formfield ending by _date , _required, _time and so on...
My application proposes to the users to create some Properties for an object and later on to modify the values for all these properties.
I've got a piece of code building dynamically some form fields named just like the properties (by a simple cfloop on a DB query getting the property list).
And a registering page to records the new value in the DB.
But it crashes onto the classical "
Form entries are incomplete or invalid.
I can't control what the users set as property name (one of them was Checklist_required).
Is there any way to prevent this error by disabling this auto validation ?
(I'd like to avoid having to rename any field dynamically created and rename any forms variables before registering them on the DB : it's just NO WAY for me to rename the properties created by the users)Fober1, that's not how it works. It's pretty much the ultimate example of the disjoint between how HTML forms work and how the naive CFML Cfform / cfinput design wished they work.
When a request is being processed by the coldfusion server, it just looks at the list of FORM (POST) variable names (whether it came from cfform or not; URL/GET params are exempt), and for those with certain suffixes (_date, _required, etc.), and it assumes their existence is intended to request validation another field without that suffix. It doesn't actually know or care whether form submission, nor the HTML rendered in the user's browser, actually came from "cfform" or "cfinput". The composition of the request that comes in (when a user clicks on "submit", or a hacker uses any tool imaginable) is out of the server's hands. The cfform code is not used during form submission processing, because the receiving template (the form action="this_one.cfm") doesn't even have to be the same template that has the cfform in it. There could be multiple conflicting cfforms directing users to request the same template on a single site, with or without the validation, even without considering what a whole other person might decide to send to your server.
The fact that it can work as intended for a typical user is irrelevant, because the purpose of validation is to deal with the atypical situation. A malicious or merely mischievous user that wanted to circumvent the validation would simply modify a copy of the page to leave out the "validation request" fields. For the developer to truly validate the input, additional code must be written, making the feature not only inadequate, but a complete waste of time. There absolutely should be a way to disable it at worst; Ideally, it would be taken out of coldfusion completely. It's not only useless, it's a security risk, wooing programmers to write code that doesn't do what they think it does.
The error message it gives isn't so great, either, and it's a pity that it can't show more than one validation message at a time, either. If more than one input is invalid, you could end up going through one round after another of submit + back button.
edit: I forgot to add the other important reason that this feature should never have existed: It is a nuisance to everyone else who doesn't want to use it at all, too! Those suffixes simply couldn't have been a worse choice, colliding with probably thousands of peoples' variable names. Why not "*_cfval_date" "*_cfval_time" etc? -
Using Javascript form validation in WordPress - Firefox issues
I have been struggling for a while to get javascript to validate a WordPress based HTML form which uses radio buttons. I finally came up with a solution with was a bit long-winded but worked - at least in IE and Chrome - however, it doesn't work in Firefox (which suggests my code is a bit sloppy). I think my radio button reference is the issue. Can anyone help with what I have done wrong - apart from use an inefficient approach for validation :-)?
A simplified version of my form:
<script>
function validateForm()
var aa=document.forms["personalise"]["motivation"]["1a"];
var ab=document.forms["personalise"]["motivation"]["1b"];
var ac=document.forms["personalise"]["motivation"]["1c"];
var ad=document.forms["personalise"]["motivation"]["1d"];
var ae=document.forms["personalise"]["motivation"]["1e"];
if (!(aa.checked == true || ab.checked == true || ac.checked == true || ad.checked == true || ae.checked == true))
alert("Question 1 must be completed");
return false;
</script>
<form name="personalise" action="insertdatatest.php" onsubmit="return validateForm()" method="post">
1. Are you seriously planning to quit </b>:
<input id="1a" type="Radio" title="" name="motivation" value="1" /> Within the next 2 weeks
<input id="1b" type="Radio" title="" name="motivation" value="2" /> Within the next 30 days
<input id="1c" type="Radio" title="" name="motivation" value="3" /> Within the next 3 months
<input id="1d" type="Radio" title="" name="motivation" value="4" /> No, I am not currently planning to quit
<input id="1e" type="Radio" title="" name="motivation" value="5" /> I have already quit
<input type="submit" value = "Submit">
</form>
For My Website : http://www.schoolanduniversity.comThanks for your support,
This will partly solve the issue I think. Now, the validation is indeed only done for the first form. But I need to save data twice when entering data in the second grid. When checking the error console in mozilla I see following error:
Error: grid[r] is undefined
Which is reffering to:
if ((grid[r] [1] != missing) ||(grid[r][2] != missing) || (grid[r][3] != missing))
When I save again, the data will be saved without this error.
Is there a way to exclude the second grid in the if Statement?

Cannot view HTML form input entry in Firefox.
I have a basic html form embedded in a Wordpress footer widget to collect email addresses and I can place the cursor in the input field (there is only one input field) but I cannot see what I'm typing. If I enter an invalid email address (without being able to see what I'm typing) and hit the submit button I can see on the error page (since a valid email address is required) what I originally typed. The URL is askdrkyle.com and the form is on the left hand side of the footer.
I do not have this problem in any other browser.
Thanks!I figured it out. I had adjusted the height of the input element to a height that did not work well with the padding. Once I removed the height style and adjusted the padding I got the size I wanted and can see the text as it should be.
Thanks for your help forgottengods! -
Submiting HTML Forms with JavaFX Webview
I've long been searching for a good web robot framework. And I also need a gui for my robot.
So w/ the advent of JAVAFX Webengine it seemed my needs have been met finally. Specially because on the webview tutorial here , Alla Redko says: "+It supports user interaction such as navigating links *and submitting HTML forms*+".
But after looking at the api it doesn't seem that webengine supports submiting forms, only loading pages w/ the load() method. I guess I could populate the form fields and submit them w/ executeScript() but that's just sloppy.
Is there a way to actually submit forms w/ webengine? Are there plans to implement this feature, analogous to the load() method?
Thanks,
JCYea, as I mentioned in the first post, I could do all that w/ JS but it's just sloppy, since I'm using Java language, not JS.
The finding certain fields part is easy w/ the Document model and xpath, it's the populating the fields and submiting the form along w/ its hidden input fields that is the missing part.
Does anyone know if these things are planned for the future of Webview/Webengine?You can already do this in Java today using the existing APIs if you so wished.

}Personally, I think using JavaScript via engine.executeScript calls in combination with jquery might be a less messy solution (as I don't like writing against the raw dom apis), but I understand that there are valid reasons why you might prefer to use a Java only solution.

Electronic/Digital signature on HTML form
My study case is :
A user, in a web application like intranet, should be able to fill a HTML form, "sign" it (as he would do on paper sheet) and submit it.
What does it implies during the application development ?
- do we need to program all the security stuff with JAAS, JSSE and so on ?..
- do we just need to install some external tool on server, on client ?
Please, give me some starting point...
Regards.Well, it will be enough from the security point of
view, but my problem concerns laws : I want to be able
to deal with electronic signature that will legally be
as valid as real signature (on paper)...It is not going to be a problem. You may ask your user to obtain a certificate from Thawte or Verisign, or even issue that certificate you yourself. Then you can configure your web server to ask for that certificate during the login process (it has to be also deployed on your web server), so your will have to configure his beb browser to give you that certificate. Look for more details at http://www.thawte.com/html/RETAIL/ssl/index.html -
David Powers --- Regarding form validation with dreamweaver behaviors
I am in the chapter teaching about form validation with the Zend Framework. I have done the entire lesson with the lesson files and everything works perfectly...
but I went back to use the form valdation techniques for my own site and it is not working properly. In the book, Chapter 6 teaches how to create a user login and editing the database through the site. But in chapter seven the form validation does not build on top of this and therefore does not teach how to integrate the form validation with the registered user already set up.
I have user registration completly working on my site and everything runs fine. I am trying to add the form validation but it is all completly ignored. When I leave a field blank it simply takes me to another blank page that reads "Column 'first_name' cannot be null"

I replaced some code here to protect myself, but the library.php file is completely functional and has been tested... I am sure the problem ins't in here.
Please let me know if you need any further code to help you out. I am brand new to PHP and so far everything has ran smoothly up til now. I have my Zend Framework uploaded to my server and tested that my site is connecting to it properly. Any help on this would be so so awesome! This is for a school project and I can't move on until this is resolved! Thank you so much for trying!
You can also view the issue at my website... all the files have been uploaded to the server. www.CSSU.comI am in the chapter teaching about form validation with the Zend Framework. I have done the entire lesson with the lesson files and everything works perfectly...
but I went back to use the form valdation techniques for my own site and it is not working properly. In the book, Chapter 6 teaches how to create a user login and editing the database through the site. But in chapter seven the form validation does not build on top of this and therefore does not teach how to integrate the form validation with the registered user already set up.
I have user registration completly working on my site and everything runs fine. I am trying to add the form validation but it is all completly ignored. When I leave a field blank it simply takes me to another blank page that reads "Column 'first_name' cannot be null"
here is index.php code...

Hi,
I'm trying to get form validation working in struts but am running into a bit of difficulty. I have a couple of questions:
1) When an ActionError is returned - does the input form have to have used <html:form> tags for the errors to be shown. The reason i ask is because at the moment i am using the original <form> tags and when the request is returned to the input page there is just a blank page - i though this might be because i am not using the specialised struts html tags? This leads nicely on to my 2nd question... :o)
2)Now the reason i am not using these tags is because when i try and create a form using these tags the text input areas/buttons etc do not appear - here is my code:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" language="java" import="java.sql.*" errorPage="" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<html:html>
<head>
<title>iQ Holiday Entitlement Calculator</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><html:errors property="date"/></p>
<html:form action="/iq/hr/holiday/calculate" name="calculatorForm" type="iq.hr.holiday.calculator.forms.CalculatorForm" >
<table width="45%" border="0">
<tr>
<td>Day: <html:text property="day" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Month: <html:text property="month" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Year: <html:text property="year" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><html:submit styleClass="button" value="Go"/></td>
</tr>
<table>
</html:form>
</body>
</html:html>The text literals "Day:", "Month:", "Year:" appear but no text field with which to enter the text!
I would very much appreciate any help anyone can offer!
Many thanks<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"

HTML Form-like behavior in Flash
Hello,
I'm looking to find a reference that can help me in the
creation of Flash user input screens that behave in a manner
analogous to an HTML form. Specifically I'm concerned with error
checking and data validation. For example, if a user is creating a
new record or editing an existing record and they choose to
navigate away from the page, the code should check for data
changes, and on finding any offer the user an option to save the
data. Once the offer is made and responded to the flow of the
application should proceed appropriately.
In an HTML form this type of behavior would be accomplished
with an appropriately worded JavaScript "confirm" dialog. This
dialog allows for a synchronous interaction between the user and
the flow of the JavaScript code in which user choice results in how
the code flow proceeds. With Flash, such a synchronous event is not
inherently possible (to the best of my admittedly limited
experience). Without this type of "confirm" dialog, one must create
a custom messaging system to communicate with the user, and must
also structure the code in such a way that everything is able to
achieve the desired effects in an asynchronous manner.
I've tried searching this forum but I don't know how to
phrase my search in order to find good results. If anyone has any
ideas, links to resources, links to threads, or any other items
that might help in my quest to build fully optimized and robust
user input forms in Flash CS3, I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Regards,
DaveWhy not just use a DataGrid component? They're pretty easy to
use actually.
Try this: start a new AS2 project and drag a DataGrid from
the components
panel onto the stage. Use the properties panel to size it to
500 x 300. When
you add data to a grid it will just show a scroll bar if
necessary, it
doesn't resize... Give it an instance name of "theGrid".
Now, add the following script to the frame:
import mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn;
function doGrid(gridRef, gArray:Array)
for (var i = 0; i < gArray.length; i++) {
var cat:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn(gArray
[0]);
cat.width = gArray[2];
cat.headerText = gArray
[1];
cat.editable = false;
gridRef.addColumn(cat);
var gFormat = new Array(["fname", "First Name:", 120],
["lname", "Last
Name:", 200], ["date", "Win Date:", 80]);
doGrid(theGrid, gFormat);
If you compile now, you'll see the grid with the field
titles... I use the
doGrid function, and an array like this to make formatting
the grid easy.
The first item in the array matches the dataProvider
property, as you will
see in a moment - the second is the title, and the third the
width of the
column... change these as you need.
To add data, you just create an array of objects, with the
object properties
matching the first item in the format array - like so - add
the following
and test again:
var gridData = new Array({fname:"Dave", lname:"Mennenoh",
date:"09/14/08"},
{fname:"giga", lname:"saurus", date:"10/14/08"});
theGrid.dataProvider = gridData;
That's all there is to it... If you add more data than can be
shown, you'll
get a scroll bar. You can add en event listener to know when
someone selects
an item, etc...
good luck
Dave -

MySQL: SELECT * FROM with a Variable from an HTML form
Hello,
I would like to insert the variable "find" from the HTML form below in the MySQL "SELECT * FROM" query beneath it. In other words, where the word "santafe" appears below, I would like to insert the variable "$find." But I can't quite get it to work. How do I do it?
Thanks in advance,
John
<form action="tsearch11.php" method="post">
<label>Enter Topic:
<input type="text" name="find" size="55"/>
<input type="hidden" name="searching" value="yes" />
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" />
</label>
</form>
Then, on tsearch11.php:
<?
mysql_connect("mysqlv3", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("sand2") or die(mysql_error());
$find = strip_tags($find);
$find = trim ($find);
$t = "SELECT * FROM santafe";
$y = mysql_query($t);
?>Putting a form variable in a SQL query to look for table or column names requires an extra level of security. You need to create an array of the valid names, and check that the form variable is in that array.
$find = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($_POST['find']) : $_POST['find'];
$find = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($find));
// create an array of valid table names
$tables = array('santafe', 'sanfernando', 'guadalupe');
// check that the variable is in the permitted array
if (in_array($find, $tables)) {
$t = "SELECT * FROM $find";
$y = mysql_query($t);
} else {
$error = 'Sorry, you selected an invalid table.';
In the page itself, check whether $y exists before using it. Otherwise display the error:
if (isset($y)) {
// display the results
} elseif (isset($error)) {
echo $error;
