JIK Advanced Validate Form fix

If you use the Advanced Validate Form behavior from the JavaScript Integration Kit and you set it to not stop on first error you will experience compounding error messages. Each time the form is resubmitted, the errors will be duplicated a second, then a third time, etc.
The solution is to add this line of code to the end of the FDK_Validate function:
window[theFormName].ValidateForm = false;

By default the validation scope is item. Forms will validate every item during the commit process. There has to be some validation trigger(with raise form_trigger_failure if it fails) for the item, if the form has to stop during validation in the commit. Otherwise it's going to validate according to it's properties and set the item status to valid. Anyone correct me if I am wrong.

Help with Dreamweaver Validate Form Behavior

Hello,
I'm attempting to use Dreamweaver to validate form fields. This would work quite well except for in this case I'm using custom form code which is coming from Salesforce.com. The issue has been that the Salesforce.com web-to-lead form comes with "name" attributes on every form field item. If I change these names to make the validation look nicer, for example from first_name to First Name, then the web to lead form breaks. Is there another way to utilize Dreamweavers form validation by creating by own names for each form element instead of using "name"? The objective is to give the user something that looks good... like:
First Name is required
Last Name is required
And with the Salesforce custom name fields it ends up looking like:
900000xxxxx213s is required
or
last_name is required
Thanks for any help!

The name attribute of a form cannot contain spaces. That's why the validation behavior breaks.
The Dreamweaver Validate Form behavior is rather crude and well past its sell-by date. Use the Spry Validation widgets instead: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WS267C8659-3AEF-4956-8268-E38CA4CAFAD3a .html.

Extension fields in Advanced Find Form

Hi, experts,
     I have four solutions in which I added one extension field to a standard BO.
     Let's say they are S1,S2,S3 and S4 respectively and all are of the same data type.
     I added each of them to the Advanced Find Form of the standard BO's OWL.(From Extensibility Explorer)
    The strange thing is when I enter some data in one extension field (just say S1), other extension fields (S2,S3,S4) are also filled with the   same data from S1.The deleting also have the same behavior.And when I delete one extension field(just say S2), the data in other extension fields (S1,S3,S4) are deleted too.
Why is this happening?
How can I control that?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Fred.

Hi, Fernando.
    Thanks.
     I am sorry I was not quite clear on my question.
     Here is my Use Case.
     Let's say I have 4 solution, sol1, sol2, sol3, sol4.
     I have created an xbo of the same standard BO in each solution.
     My plan is to add one extension field namely ext1 (same name, same data type but different labels though) to that standard XBO all in sol1,sol2,sol3 and sol4.
     And I have added each extension field to Advanced Find Form of the standard xbo's OWL in all of the four solutions.
    Each extension field is bound to a respective element. (checked)
    I think my problem is I have unfortunately given the same name to all the extension fields.
    Please confirm.
Regards,
Fred.

Validate form server behavior

I have a problem with my Dreamweaver 8.0.2....I can't get

There is no validate form server behavior built into
Dreamweaver. Perhaps you'rr looking for the Validate Form in the
*Behaviors* (not Server behaviors) panel?

How to validate form before redirecting?

Dreamweaver CS3, MacPro, Using default Validate in DWCS3 Behaviors
Page is here: http://www.generationscrossing.com/runnerValidateTest.php
I am having trouble getting this page to validate before going to another page.
I have a Server Behavior of Insert Record where I have the redirect address.
To start, I don't fill in any of the fields and click the submit button and it takes me to the page specified in the Insert Record setup dialogue.
Or I can fill in some of the fields and not others and click the submit button and it still takes me to the page specified in the Insert Record setup dialogue.
Code is attached

Hi,
The validate() method can be called for the form by calling:
Spry.Widget.Form.validate(form).
Add this line into your method and if validate method returns
true, the validation pass and you submit the form, otherwise you
block the submition.
if (Spry.Widget.Form.validate(form) == true){

Validate form function not working

I want to implement a validate form function within my bean.I can add to table no problem but when i am testing and leaving a field out (first name for example),it should redirect to a retry page. but it is throwing a null pointer exception within the validate method.
here is an example..just the firstName validation
public boolean validate() {
boolean allOk=true;
if (firstName.equals("")) {
errors.put("firstName","Please enter your first name");
firstName="";
allOk=false;
.....return allOk; if all fields have been entered
the field is empty so it should return allOk as false,therefore redirecting to retry.jsp
the controller jsp is as follows
<jsp:useBean id="registerUser" class="com.football.RegisterBean" scope="request">
<jsp:setProperty name="registerUser" property="*"/>
</jsp:useBean>
<%
if (registerUser.validate()) {
%>
<jsp:forward page="RegisterServlet"/>
<%
} else {
%>
<jsp:forward page="/register_retry.jsp"/>
<%
%>
i have also tried
if ("".equals(firstName)) {
but this will allow the user to be added without first name..any ideas?
???

Try the below code snippet
public boolean validate() {
boolean allOk=true;
if (firstName.equals(" ")) { //modified here.
errors.put("firstName","Please enter your first name");
firstName="";
allOk=false;
}

Enhancement reqest: Advanced Search form

I would like to request another form wizard like all the great ones already there. A Advanced Search form wizard.
Basically a form that asks for a bunch of query items like those found on any Advanced Search form and depending on which ones are non-blank, constructs a dynamic query and populates a SQL query region when the Search button is pressed.
Thanks

From what I can tell from each of the examplesthere
is no option to specify any kind of compoundcriteria
syntax for a single field, as I pointed out in my
earlier post, e.g. where id=1 or id=2 and type=6and
type=7. That kind of thing.Right, but (IMHO) your UI is approaching the problem
too "literally" i.e. too much in terms of the
underlying SQL. You are making the user literally
think in terms of a SQL SELECT statement.I agree to some extent - it clearly looks like a query builder - but the UI provides an abstraction layer so the user doesn't have to worry about typing the underlying syntax correctly.
And remember, this is a business application - not Google. In my experience users of business applications are pretty demanding when it comes to getting at their data. Not that I want to perpetuate bad designs on anyone. I just want to make sure the user has the tools they need. And they want field level searching.
>
P.S. I've already implemented a basic searchfunction
at the top of each report page that let's the user
enter a single value that will do an 'OR' againstall
the fields in the view. It's just that the userRight, thats the way most search functions work. You
type a keyword and the system does a full-text
case-insensitive search for that keyword across a
pre-determined set of columns.
doesn't really have any control over which fieldsare
tested against the value.Another way to approach this would be to put up a
single search text field and list all the columns you
want to search across as checkboxes. User can select
the column(s) he wants the keyword to be searched
in.
Your example of multiple predicates on the same
column is a little unusual, but
where id=6 or id=7Unusual, perhaps..., until you get a request from someone that wants to find all the equipment with serial numbers between XYZ123456 and XYZ2345678. ;>)
This can be implemented as a multi select list (or N
separate text fields) where user can select/enter
each value and you go and build the resulting SQL.I've thought of making the values select lists based on valid entries that exist in the table for a couple of cases where it might be appropriate - but I need to get basic function working first.
>
Just some ideas...
ThanksThanks again for your thoughts. I have an example page on OTN that give the beginnings of my idea here: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=36337:14 It's not fully functional yet but if you click the Search button it will throw the where clause in the text box at the bottom of the page. Let me know what you think if you get a chance.

Customizing the advanced search form (showing less parameters)

Hi,
can I customize the advanced search form in Portal, for
instance, to hide some parameters like "item attributes"
or "item types"?
I've read the thread at http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jsp?
id=562712 where it shows how to write a custom advanced search,
but that requires some programming efort. are there any easier
alternative?
many thanks.

You could try to cpoy the HTML source of the advanced search
page, copy it in a HTML-portlet or dynamic page, and remove the
fields you don't want to show.
I had succes this way with the search portlet and add_groups
portlet, didn't try the advanced search page though.

Struts how can validate form without using validate method.

Hi
Is this possible validate a form without using validate form
if it is possible then
please tell me how can we validate it
Thanks
Surendra

Make use of validator framework.. this would enable you to do validation both @ client side by javascript under defined validation rules and also enables you to do it @ serverside....
And if want to create a Dyanamic Form beans which takes care of validations to make use ValidatorForm or DynaValidatorForm class under the pacakage org.apache.struts.validator and create an instance of it with preconfigured validations under structs...
Make use of the links below which i think are the best tutors for newbies....
http://www.roseindia.net/struts/struts_validator_framework.shtml
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/04-jan/o14dev_struts.html

Validate form greyed out

i've just created a working form in DW3 and im trying to validate the form. after i select the form and go to behaviors the validate form is not active.
please help. thanks

Thanks a bunch. I had connected to Essbase and not Planning. After reading your response, I created a connection to point to
http://<server>:8300/HyperionPlanning/SmartView
and from there on, yes, the Form option was enabled and I could choose the forms.

Validate Form fails

I am using DW MX 2004.
I have three fields in a "form" that I applied "Validate
Form." They are
all text fields. When I applied the "Validate Form", I gave
each a value of
"Required" and "Accept anything". If I look at the code, I
have
onclick="MM_validateForm('title','','R','pub_date','','R','article','','R');return
document.MM_returnValue"
So, all three fields appear as arguments to validate form
function, as they
should.
Now, when I test the code by leaving all three fields blank,
I only get
error messages on the last two, pub_date and article. If I
put data in
pub_date and article, and submit (leaving title blank), I get
an error
message that "Column title cannot be null.", which is
correct, being
returned by the failed Insert SQL..
My question is, why isn't "Validate Form" finding the error
of there not
being any data in the title field?
Thank you...

Start simple. Follow my directions re:selecting the form tag
on the QTS.
Then apply the behavior.

Validate form field for CE 7.1 SP3

Hi Experts
I want to validate the form field and I follow the example of the SimpleError Form sample:
public void checkMandatory(java.lang.String fieldName) {
//@@begin checkMandatory()
IWDMessageManager messageMgr =
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
Object attributeValue =
wdContext.currentContextElement().getAttributeValue(fieldName);
IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo =
wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(fieldName);
if (attributeValue instanceof String) {
if (((String) attributeValue).length() == 0) {
String fieldLabel =
wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(fieldName)
.getSimpleType().getFieldLabel();
messageMgr.reportContextAttributeMessage(
wdContext.currentContextElement(),
attributeInfo,
IMessageSimpleErrors.MISSING_INPUT,
new Object[] { fieldLabel },
true);
//@@end
public void onActionSave(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
//@@begin onActionSave(ServerEvent)
this.checkMandatory(IPrivateForm.IContextElement.NAME);
this.checkDateInPast(IPrivateForm.IContextElement.BIRTHDAY);
this.checkDesired(IPrivateForm.IContextElement.E_MAIL_ADDRESS);
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().raisePendingException();
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(
"The sample form data was successfully saved!");
However, I realise that some of the methods used in the sample are already depreciated. Methods such as reportContextAttributeMessage and raisePendingException();
I am currently using CE7.1 SP3
Can advise ?
Thank you.

Hi,
Following methods are not depricated.
reportContextAttributeMessage(IWDAttributePointer[] attributes, IWDMessage message, Object[] args)
reportContextAttributeMessage(IWDAttributePointer attribute,
IWDMessage message, Object[] args)

Validate form and then send an email

Hi there,
I have pretty much built a form which I can validate how I

two together?
