JS validation for dynamic textbox

How can i validate dynamic textbox using javascript?.
item_val_#i# is required field.
<cfloop from="1" to="#count#" index="i">
<input type="text" name="item_val_#i#" size="5"
maxlength="5">
</cfloop>

use the same cfloop inside your js code (assuming it is IN
THE SAME
PAGE, not in a separate file).
obviously, your #count# variable must be set BEFORE the js
code...
something like [not complete function]:
function validatefields(){
var errstr = "";
<cfloop...>
(document.forms[0].elements["item_val_#i#"].value=="") ?
errstr =
errstr + "\nField Myfield#i# must have a value!" : errstr =
errstr;
</cfloop>
but i would suggest you better validate input server-side...

  • Dynamic textbox through the Back button

    I have created a dynamic textbox in a JSP using Javascript.
    When I submit the form in this JSP, the data's validated & a confirmation message is displayed.
    On this confirmation message, when the Back button is clicked, I get the original form with the data entered for all the fields except for the dynamic textbox, because there is no dynamic textbox!
    The textbox is to be displayed only when a condn is fulfilled. This is coded in a Javascript fn that gets called only when a particular value in the listbox of the form is selected.
    How do I display the textbox when the Back button's clicked?

    Thx for trying to help.
    Here's the source code:
    <script language="JavaScript">
    <!--
    function textBox(areaName, submitted)
    var spanTxtID = document.getElementById('insertTxtSpan');
    var areaNameText=document.createElement('input');
    areaNameText.setAttribute('type', 'text');
    areaNameText.setAttribute('name', 'areaNameText');
    areaNameText.setAttribute('maxLength', 20);
    areaNameText.setAttribute('size', '20');
    //areaNameText.setAttribute('value', 'Khar');
    //alert(areaName.value)
    if(areaName.value=="Other")
    submitted=false;
    while(spanTxtID.hasChildNodes()) spanTxtID.removeChild(spanTxtID.lastChild);
    spanTxtID.appendChild(areaNameText);
    else { submitted=false; while(spanTxtID.hasChildNodes()) spanTxtID.removeChild(spanTxtID.lastChild); }

  • Using action script 2 how can i send a variable value to a dynamic textbox on a different keyframe?

    using action script 2 how can i send a variable value to a dynamic textbox on a different keyframe?

    Thanks for your swift response.
    That sounds like a good solution, but the code I have on frame 2 is this
    timer = 0;
    countup = function(){
    timer++;
    countupInterval = setInterval(countup,100);
    If I added the same actionscript to frame 3 which has a dynamic textbox with a variable timer attached wouldn't it just put the timer back to 0? What I want is the last known value that was given when it was in frame 2.
    I am thinking of temple run here, I am trying to caculate the total distance(set in the timer variable) from the previous try.
    Hope this makes sense.

  • Creating dynamic textbox in JSP

    I am trying to create dynamic textbox.when i run this below JS ,I am getting two boxes only and then i nothing getting it displayed.The problem comes in the inner for loop.
    function DynamicBox(val)

                         var d =document.getElementById("bottom");
                         d.innerHTML = '<table cellpadding="10">';

                    }In the above code,val is the number of rows to be created.Bottom is the id of the <div> tag.parametr is a String array.The values are coming from database.

    move the <% int m=0;%> out of the loop.. You have place it in the loop, causing it to be initialize to be 0 each time the looping occurs.
    Place <% int m=0;%> below the line: d.innerHTML = '<table cellpadding="10">'

  • Passing Input Text Data to Dynamic TextBox in Another Scene

    Hi everyone there,
    I am creating a quiz for my school using flash.
    I am wondering if it is possible to pass the answers key in
    by students in the input text field to the dynamic textbox at the
    end of the entire quiz to show all the ans by the students and all
    the model ans of the quiz.
    May i know if this can be done?
    Or is it better to pass info from text box to text box in
    from one frame to another in the same scene?
    Also, how do i create a page that will list down the total
    number of questions the student has answered correctly and show her
    score?
    Thank you very much.
    FiOh
    *^^*

    An instructor at a summer camp told me to avoid scenes, so
    I've been afraid of them ever since.
    I'm not sure I quite understand the first post - you want the
    students to put in their own answer key?
    I made a quiz once. It was about genetics. This first frame
    had a "let's go" button that started the quiz. Each consecutive
    frame had a question and an oddball amount of input fields. The
    frame had each input set to a certain variable. At the end it added
    one to the score variable for each textfield that matched my magic
    answer. You could do all kinds of things this way. The syntax
    looked something like:
    if(input3A.text = whatever the answer is) {
    ++score; //adds to score variable
    and it could make a result3A_txt.text = "Bingo";
    "input3A" is arbitrary - for problem three, two, etc. the
    text field was called "input" and then a number, and then, if there
    was more than one text field for that problem, a letter. This is
    just the first field in problem three.
    The second line in the if statement talks to a field. You put
    a static text with the problem number, and next to it,
    result3A_txt. If the user answered the problem correctly, the field
    will become "Bingo" or something. You would do this for each
    problem so that every correct one would say "Bingo."
    To get a percent score:
    percent_txt.text = Math.round((score / max_score) *
    100);

  • Dynamic fetch for dynamic sql query

    Hi All,
    I want to dynamically create a query and fetch it into a dynamic cursor record...The structure of the record should be the same as that of the query...
    Can you suggest any method to do that.
    eg
    OPEN <dynamic cur> FOR <dynamic stmt>;
    LOOP
    FETCH <dynamic cur> INTO <dynamic rec>;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE <dynamic cur>;
    How do I declare the dynamic rec here?I would not know the columns in the query beforehand either.
    Thanks,

  • SharePoint Error "The security validation for this page is invalid" when delete an item

    Hi,
    I have SharePoint 2010 setup and works fine until today all of a sudden it throws error "The security validation for this page is invalid" when delete a SharePoint document or list item.
    There is no custom event handler deployed on library/list, and it should not be account issue as the same account works yesterday, and even after I turn off security validation from Central Admin, it still doesn't work.
    The only change I did is turn off Dynamic Compression from IIS, after that I tried enable back Dynamic Compression but it still doesn't work.
    Does anyone know what could be the possible reasons? Thanks in advance.

  • Grab Frame Number, add 6 and display in dynamic textbox

    Hey,
    I have a gallery that needs numbered images. To do this I
    need to grab the current frame number of a parent movie, add 6 and
    display in a dynamic textbox. Sounds simple!
    The frame number I need to grab is in:
    _root.gallery
    The dynamic textbox has the var name 'displayNumber' and is
    in:
    _root.gallery.controlbox
    I need this to refresh every time the frame number changes in
    the _root.gallery clip. This is a fairly urgent project so swift
    help is obviously appreciated!
    Thank you in advance

    your code will work if all you state is valid and there's no

  • Validation for DropdownbyIndex

    Hi All,
    In my view I have some InputFields and DropdownbyIndex UI elements.
    I binded Value Atrributes for InputFields and Value Node for DropdownbyIndex.
    While doing validation for these elements :
    For <b>InputFields(Value Atrributes):</b>
    IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo=this.wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("name");
    messageManager.reportContextAttributeMessage(this.wdContext.currentContextElement(),attributeInfo,IMessageSomeComp.MISSING_NAME,
    new Object[] { "Name" }, false);
    For <b>DropdownByIndex(Value Node):</b>
    IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo1=this.wdContext.nodeSample().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("value");
    messageManager.reportContextAttributeMessage(this.wdContext.currentSampleElement()attributeInfo1,IMessageSomeComp.MISSING_NAME,
    new Object[] { "Name" }, false);
    If I execute this both are working fine and I am getting  a Red Box around inputfield(Name). But for DropdownbyIndex it is not like that. There is no Red Box.
    why it is like this and how can I solve this. Please give me some good solution.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

  • Remove dynamic textbox on loading an image

    I'm trying to remove a line of text placed in a dynamic textbox inside a MC after an image loads in the imageloader component.

  • I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet. I keep getting message that my network configuration settings have changed. Ive been advised that i need to change settings to look for dynamic ip address ?

    I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet and am getting the message that my network configuration settings have changed. I have reported it to my provider who advised that they think the Mac is looking for a fixed IP address and they use dynamic addresses. I have had the Mac for months and have not had this problem before. I would appreciate any help please on how to fix this ?

    Then I get a separate pop up that says: Secure Connection Failed. aus3.mozilla:443 uses an invalid security certificate.
    The certificate is only valid for the following names: securelogin.arubanetworks.com, www.securelogin.arubanetworks.com
    (Error code: ssl_error_cert_domain)
    This could be a problem with the server's configuration or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
    If you have connected to this server successfully in the past the error may be temporary and you can try again later.
    I have tried many many times!

  • Defining complex validations for flex items

    Hi,
    We've defined a flex regions and a number of flex items. We would like to define more complex validation logic at the entity object level, whereby we'd like to reference both 'fixed' entity attribute values as well as values of the flex items.
    Could you please indicate how this can be achieved in the validateEntity method of the EntityImpl.java class.
    We know beforehand which flex items will be displayed based on the value of one of the fixed entity attributes (e.g. if the attribute request_type='assist' then display flex items A and B, if request_type='info' then display flex items D, E and F). We use flex items because the number of request_types and corresponding 'dynamic' attributes is too large (and subject to frequent additions, deletions or modifications) to incorporate in a fixed static db table structure.
    If you can suggest alternatives to using JHeadstart flex items, these are more than welcome, of course.
    Many thanks beforehand,
    Ibrahim

    Dear Steven,
    First of all many many thanks for your prompt reply. We can use JSF EL expressions to conditionally render flex items. I'd like to illustrate my question with a simple example:
    We have three fixed entity attributes displayed:
    RequestType
    Birthday
    Sex
    and two flex items (rendered at runtime for a specific runtime value of RequestType):
    Smoker (Y/N)
    Weight
    Before saving the record I'd like to check a number of validation business rules that depend on the fixed entity attributes as well as the two flex items being displayed.
    Consequently, I'd need to be able to access the flex item values provided by the user, inside my validateEntity method (right ?).
    I can define simple validations for the flex items, but I can only access the flex item value and possibly the DependsOnItemValue.
    PS: When I define a flex item of type 'inputtext' and try to access its value using a bind variable in the validation query of the flex item e.g.
    :ItemValue = 'blabla'
    Suppose the user fills in the value Abracadabra, the validation logic substitutes as follows:
    Abracadabra = 'blabla' (which generates an Oracle error). I'd expect the following substitution to take place:
    'Abracadabra' = 'blabla'

  • Parameter Validation for invalid date entered

    I enter an invalid date like 99/08/2014 as one of the parameters for my report and get the following error.
    The value provided for the report parameter 'P1' is not valid for its type. (rsReportParameterTypeMismatch)
    To the report user audience, this message is not meaningful and it happened before the report is even executed . 
    Is there any way to override this and put a more meaningful error in ?

    Hello,
    According to your description, you want to custom the error message when the input date value is invalid. In Reporting Services, it doesn’t provide any interference for us to modify the system error message (the text in grey color). That means we can’t modify
    the system message when error occurs. However we can create a textbox in this report, use custom code and expression to display the custom error message. For more details, please refer to the following steps:
    Go to Report Properties. Put the code below into custom code:
    Public Shared a As Integer=0
    Public Shared Function IsDate(d1 As String) as Integer
    Try
    FormatDateTime(d1)
    Catch ex As Exception
    a=1
    End Try
    return a
    End Function
    Change the parameter data type from Date to Text.
    Change the filter expression from Parameters!ReportParameter1.Value to the following:
    =IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!ReportParameter1.Value)=0,cdate(Parameters!ReportParameter1.Value),CDate("1/3/2013"))
    Use the expression below to set the visibility of the tablix:
    =IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!ReportParameter1.Value)=0,false,true)
    Create a textbox with the expression below:
    =IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!ReportParameter1.Value)=0,"","custom error message")
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
