Spry validation stops me writing a MySQL record

Good morning,
This is very strange and has been driving me nuts for a couple of days now. Using DW CS6/ Win 7/ IE 11/ FF/ Chrome.
I had an application form that worked correctly, validated input and wrote a new record to a MySQL db. I had to develop a very similar web page so I took the existing page and updated it.
I have found, after a lot of trial and error, that I can write a new record containing valid data but spry doesn't work - no validation and no hints appear in the text boxes. Or, I can get spry validation to work but the web page hangs when I try and write a new record.
Amongst other changes, the old page had a checkbox which I deleted from the new page and there are no other checkboxes on the page. When i remove the js "var sprycheckbox2 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationCheckbox("sprycheckbox2");" Spry validation works, hints appear etc but the page hangs when I click the "Next Step" button which should write to the db. if I leave the js for the widget in the page I don't get any spry validation or hints but the record is written to the db. In both cases I had commented out the link to "SpryValidationCheckbox.js".
Here's a link to the version which has the widget http://www.hollisterairshow.com/rally/vendorApp2.php?blapp=inline&tspapp=inline&tfpapp=inl ine , this has no hints in the text boxes and spry validation doesn't happen at all, but it does write a record to the db. here's a link to the version where I commented out the js for the checkbox widget - it's the second one in the list of widgets at the end of the page. I made no other changes http://www.hollisterairshow.com/rally/vendorApp3.php?blapp=inline&tspapp=inline&tfpapp=inl ine
It looks like the widgets were added at the end of the google analytics code but I don't know if this is relevant.
I'm also getting widgets listed as missing when I open the page in DW, the checkbox I referred to is the first one listed below, could this be relevant? Do I just delete the js for each of the widgets listed? Sorry if this is a basic question, I'm getting very confused at this point.
i'd really appreciate some direction in trying to fix this.
Thanks,
Tony

I took a look at jqueryvalidate and it looks straightforward, my only reservation is that it doesn't appear to support hints in the form fields e.g. in a zip code field "5 digit Zip" etc. I googled around and found yet another library that claims to do this. So now I'm looking at adding two libraries I'm not familiar with and rewriting my form.
I was really hoping a fresh pair of eyes could spot something I'm missing - the old version of this form worked, and still works. When I added/ deleted a few fields to the new version my problems started.
Thanks again..

Spry Validation widgets not working on local WAMP server

I just started the process of creating a contact page. I got the client side done last night, woke up this morning and panicked. The spry validation widgets weren't working anymore. I re-did the entire page and realized it was only the contact.html page in the wamp directory that wasn't working. All the needed CSS and javascript assets are there and in the proper folders, so what's up?
(I'm still in the middle of the lynda.com series Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP and MySQL , so I'm not even certain where I'm heading just yet. I'm doing stuff as I think I understand it.)

OK, this is interesting. It works online, but not in local cache.
Here's the contact page on my website: http://www.ladyhawkslair.com/contact.html (So far, GNDN: goes nowhere; does nothing.)
And here's the WAMP version: http://www.ladyhawkslair.com/wamp/contact.html
worky-worky online.
No worky-worky when I preview in Firefox on my system.
Wait. Hold that thought.
I only refuses to work when I preview it in Firefox THROUGH Dreamweaver. Let me test again.
Verified.
The spry widgets don't work when I load them to Firefox WITH Dreamweaver. Interestingly, it works with IE.
Any ideas, Gramps?

Spry Validation

Hi there,
I am trying to use the spry validation in my form. But that form has already a server side validation in the form element.
When I try to insert the spry validation for a text field for example I have this error message:
"While executing inspectSelection in spry_ValidationTextField.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
Does it mean that I cannot put a Spry validation after I've inserted a PHP validation?
What am I doing wrong?
Help me please.
Thank you!

Having both client side JavaScript and server side validation is a good "belt and suspenders" tactic, especially if you are making sure the right kind of data is submitted to avoid errors on the database. Trying to mix your validation within the form itself could get messy however. You might want to try this...
Have all the Spry validation in the form to "pre test" your data before it's ever submitted. This will catch 95% of the problems.
If you really want to be 100% sure, you can include a block of server side validation on the target page for the form before you process any of the data. If any of the data fails you send the user back to the form, re populate the form with the form variables they sent the first time and display an error for the field that failed.
Sorry, this isn't as simple of an answer as you may have been looking for, this requires quite a bit of coding, but it's a 100% sure way to validate the data before writing it to your database.
Hope this helps.

Spry validation disables Submit button

Hey,
I'm using spry validation on text boxes and dropdown menu's
.. for some reason, on certain pages when the form is submitted and
validated, if there's a problem with one of the fields, the submit
button is disabled and won't enable again. Any ideas on how I can
stop this from happening?

validation was stopped and the page was sent.

Hi,
You are right, the syntax is incorrect. However your
suggestion will not work on all browsers. Actually the correct
syntax that will work the same on all browsers is:
if (typeof objType != 'undefined' && objType != null)
The undefined is not considered a keyword, its a data type.
The following code will throw an exception in both IE and
Firefox because they are not predefining a read only object called
undefined:
if (objType != undefined){ alert ('a') }
A better proof that undefined is not a keyword is that the
following code is working correctly:
var undefined = 3;
var objType = 4;
if (objType != undefined) alert(undefined)
You'll have to ask for the type of the variable that will
return a string that should be then compared with the 'undefined'
string:
if (typeof objType != 'undefined') alert(objType);
The null is a predefined object and is a reserved keyword.
Therefore you can't do this:
var null = 3;
and the correct syntax to check an element for null value is
if (obj != null)
I did some tests and the toString() serialization of the
undefined value is not working:
objType != 'undefined'
The code above will throw an error on both Firefox, IE and
Opera. Also the following code will not work correctly:
objType = null
if (objType == 'null') alert('something')
In case you'll use it like this:
objType = null
if (objType != 'null') alert('something');
The string 'null' is compared with the object null and the
result is also unexpected.
I don't want to take me wrong, this problem wasn't clear for
me either until you mentioned. I started to look to the
documentation and did some tests and I thought that will be a good
thing to share my conclusion for everybody here specially that
people develop their own javascript code.
I will forward this bug to the right person and we will
correct the problem for the final release. Thank you for letting us
know about this problem

Cristian MARIN

Spry Validation in Spry Detail Region

I am trying to pre-populate an "update" data form using a
spry detail region. Basically a list of users is displayed on the
left, and the detail in a tab on the right. A second "edit" tab
displays a form that is populated with data from the spry dataset
using a detail region (just as the first detail tab). However, the
spry validations within the detail region do not work.
Download
this zip.
Thanks for looking.

Hi jmortimer,
What you need to do is trigger the constructors for your
validation widgets every time the region updates. To do this, you
need to either move the constructor calls into your region, *or*
call the constructors from an onPostUpdate observer on your region.
To see an example of this, look here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/accordion/AccordionSample2.html
Just a note ... don't move the constructor for your tabbed
panel into the region. Leave it where it is today.

Spry Validation Confirm Widget

Ugh. This is driving me nuts!
I've used the Spry Validation Confirm Widget successfully before, but for some reason I can't spot, I get this error message every time I try to load the page: Spry.ValidationConfirm ERR: The element ConfirmPasswordWidget doesn't exists!
The JS and CSS files are linked as follows in the head section.

<script src="SpryAssets/SpryValidationPassword.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<link href="SpryAssets/SpryValidationPassword.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<script src="SpryAssets/SpryValidationConfirm.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<link href="SpryAssets/SpryValidationConfirm.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
The code in the body looks like this:
      <form id="Passwordform" name="Passwordform" method="post" action="">
        <table>
          <tr>
            <td><label for="password1">Password:</label></td>
            <td><span id="ValidatePasswordWidget">
              <input name="password1" type="password" id="password1" value="" size="20" maxlength="20"/>
              <span class="passwordRequiredMsg">A value is required.</span>
              <span class="passwordMinCharsMsg">The minimum number of characters not met.</span>
              <span class="passwordMaxCharsMsg">The maximum number of characters exceeded.</span>
              <span class="passwordInvalidStrengthMsg">The password strength condition not met.</span>
              <span class="passwordCustomMsg">User defined condition not met.</span>
              </span>
            </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td><label for="confirmpassword">Re-enter password </label></td>
            <td><span id="ConfirmPasswordWidget">
              <input type="password" id="confirmpassword" value="" size="20" maxlength="20" />
              <span class="confirmRequiredMsg">A value is required.</span>
              <span class="confirmInvalidMsg">The values do not match</span>
              </span>
            </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td> </td>
            <td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
            </td>
          </tr>
        </table>
      </form>
The scripts are declared as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
   var sprytextfield1      = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield1", "none", {validateOn:["blur"], minChars:7, maxChars:7});
   var password1           = new Spry.Widget.ValidationPassword("ValidatePasswordWidget", {validateOn:["blur"], minAlphaChars:3, minNumbers:1, maxSpecialChars:2, minChars:3, maxChars:8});
   var ConfirmWidgetObject = new Spry.Widget.ValidationConfirm("ConfirmPasswordWidget", "password1", {validateOn: ['blur']}); </script>
The actual code is shown below (it doesn't allow me to attach it).
I know this is a lot to ask, but can anyone see the reason why I'm getting this error? Looks to me like ConfirmPasswordWidget exists!?
Thanks in advance.

Folks -
I have narrowed down the cause.
This error appears if the form to which the confirm validation is applied is inside an if condition that is not met, causing the form not to appear in the html source. It doesn't seem to affect the password validation similarly, just the confirm validation.
Doesn't this have to be bug? I'm not fluent in Javascript, so I'd sure appreciate someone telling my how to work around this.
This is the structure that causes the error to be generated, but only when condition is FALSE. If condition is TRUE, no error is generated.
<?php if (condition) { ?>
form with confirm validation
<?php }; ?>
Help anyone?

Spry validation textfield errors are appearing as regular text

I am trying to create a simple email contact form using two spry validation text fields and one spry validation textarea. I inserted a spry validation text field called "Name", and then a second below it called "email" and then a spry validation textarea called "message" I gave the email field an email validation to come on at Blur, and a textarea character count validation of no more than 400 characters. The problem is that the error messages are appearing as soon as the page is loaded, they are bypassing their initial states. They say: "A value is required.Invalid format." and "A value is required.Exceeded maximum number of characters."

I build a sample a while ago that shows you how to generate and destroy validations on the fly.
http://www.spry-it.com/examples/spry-widget-validation-generation-and-destroy/
Check out the source for how its done.

Spry validation text field across two columns in a table?

I have a table with two columns. I can easily insert a spry validated text field into the left cell but when I drag the box over so that box is in the right column and the label is still in the left column then that breaks the widget.
Is this even possible for me to do or do I have to put the widget in just one column?

Think I figured it out.

After Spry validation how to redirect to a "you have successfully register" page

I am helping a friend set up a webpage for her business. You can see the website here www.themessagetext.com. I used a Spry validation for the phone number and the checkbox. One the validation is verified, I want the user to be redirected to a page that says that they have successfully register. Right now it takes you to an ugly page. It looks like an error page, but it says that you have successfully register.
I am using Internet Explorer 7. I am also using CS4 Dreamweaver. I am also usingSpryValidationCheckbox.css - version 0.4 - Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1 and SpryValidationTextField.css - version 0.4 - Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1
I am new to web design. So if you can be as specific as possible I would appreciate it. I don't even know where in the code it tells the form after it is submitted to redirect to this certain page.

Sorry I did post the wrong code for the wrong page. Here is the code for the right page. The more I thought about it I figured it was a design problem. Should I post it somewhere else since this form is for Spry.

Using JavaScript to set value of Spry validated text field

Why can't the value of a text field be set using JavaScript
when it's validated using the Spry validation widget.
Example (this works):
<select name="birthdate_month" id="birthdate_month"
onChange="document.getElementById('birthdate').value = 'test';">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="birthdate" id="birthdate"
value="">
Example (this doesnt work):
<select name="birthdate_month" id="birthdate_month"
onChange="document.getElementById('birthdate').value = 'test';">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
</select>
<span id="birthdate">
<input type="text" name="birthdate" id="birthdate"
value="">
<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">please enter your
birthday</span>
</span>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Is there a way to change the value of a Spry validated text
field using JavaScript?
Thanks.

Spry validation issue with submit button

Hi,
I'm new to Spry but am having an issue getting it to work at all. I created a very simply form (i.e. table with Spry text field and submit button). I've read many articles and been to several forums, but I can't seem to find the issue I'm having. Basically, when I go to preview the page in a browser, the table with the Spy text field and submit button comes up fine, but when I hit the submit button, I see the page refresh and any values I had in the text field disappear, but nothing ever comes up saying "A value is required," which is what I'm looking for. This happens even if I don't have any values in the text field. Below are images of what I'm describing and also the code. I verified that the "Required" check box is checked in the SpryTextField and the submit button action is selected to "Submit Form." My setup is Win 7, DW6, & XAMPP. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Before Submit Button pressed:
Browser after button pressed: (same as above but no message saying "A value is required.")
Code:

Do yourself a big favor and don't waste time with Spry Validation. Most modern browsers support HTML5 forms with the required attribute.
If you must placate older browsers, use jQuery validate script. It's lightweight and works when HTML5 support is missing. You can see an example below. If you hit submit with empty form fields, the required fields pop-up with messages. View source in browser to see the code.

How to use Spry validation with link styled submit buttons..??

I'm working with a theme package that comes with a bunch of button styles that work with basic links. For example:
<a href='page.html' class='small-button smallblue'><span>Button Label</span></a>
I've got a basic form setup with Spry validation, but the submit button needs some styling to make it look nice with the site. Since there are already styles ready for me to turn links into buttons I figured I'd use the same thing for my submit buttons.
To accomplish that, I'm using the following javascript...
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitForm() {
    document.getElementById("form_name").submit();
</script>
And then I'm updating my submit button to something like this...
<a href='javascript: submitForm()' class='small-button smallblue'><span>Button Label</span></a>
When I do this, the form submits as expected, but the Spry validation doesn't work. Is there a way I can make the Spry stuff work with these types of buttons? I know I could create separate styles for the submit buttons themselves, or I could use an image type button, but I'd really like to figure out how to get these existing styles to work for me since the theme already has so many of them done for me.
Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Save yourself a lot of trouble and style the normal submit button as per
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryValidationTextField.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryValidationTextField.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style>
.Standout {
    font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-size: 16px;
    background-color: #CC0000;
    font-weight: bold;
    border-style: none;
    padding-top: 6px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    padding-right: 64px;
    padding-left: 64px;
    letter-spacing: 1px;
.Standout:hover {
    background-color: #000000;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="get" name="myform">
<span id="sprytextfield1">
<label for="text1"></label>
<input type="text" name="text1" id="text1">
<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">A value is required.</span></span>
<input name="input" type="submit" class="Standout">
</form>
<script>
var sprytextfield1 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield1", "none", {validateOn:["blur"]});
</script>
</body>

Spry validation not working in latest FF or Chrome

Hello,
A simple Spry validation script that we're using is not working in the latest editions of Firefox or Chrome. (However it is working in IE). Meaning, it doesn't validate the form elements as it's supposed to (like missing email address) except for in IE. I can't seem to crack this one. Please have a look at the page:
http://www.golfturf.rutgers.edu/lp/Copy%20of%203-week-turf-short-course-lp1.asp
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Arnout,
Thank you for your input and for catching that folder pointing issue. However I fixed that and it still didn't remedy the issue. I would update the the latest Spry but I'm not sure that's needed because I have another page using the same Spry where the validation is working perfect in all browsers:
http://www.golfturf.rutgers.edu/ppc-turf-form.html
Everything looks the same.
Can you offer any more advice?
Thank you,

Alternatives to dreamweaver built in spry validation?

I like the spry validation features... but I don't like the K
that comes with it. Good grief, the js include files are
ridiculous.
Any lighter weight alternatives that still provide validation
reminders at each text field, area, etc.?

LOL. I'd really rather not consider that scenario. 8)
