SunOne 7 FORM Validation & Initial page

Hi All.
I have an application running in a Sun One 7 Server. I use LDAP for validation and I have configured a FORM validation, with two html's for login and error.
All goes OK, when I'm trying to get the initial JSP of the application, the login form comes. But when I validate, my browser calls an image of the JSP instead of the JSP.
It seems like the JSP tryes to load this image and then the validation starts. But when I validate, Sun One don't remember that the JSP called the image and only load the image.
I'm blocked and I don't find nothing in the documentation. In the logs nothing appears to be bad.
Somebody could help me, please?
Thanks a lot.
Daniel.

Form validation working on one page, but not the other....

Hope someone can help with this.
I have a page below with a load of contact forms which all work fine :
http://www.goodsafariguide.com/judges/judges.php
I've trued to recreate (admittedly mostly by saving as....) the same functionality here :
http://www.goodsafariguide.com/awardssite/judges/
They do work when fulled in correctly, but there's a glitch with the validation.
Basically when you fill in a form incorrectly, the page reloads, with the form's accordion closed. When you open it up, its showing the ugly looking error at the top of the form.
Any ideas what's causing it to act like this, as opposed to the way it works in the first link?
Thanks.

When looking at the source code I note that - unlike the first page - this one doesn´t contain any references to the ADDT form validation libraries ("../includes/tng/scripts/FormValidation.js" and "../includes/tng/scripts/FormValidation.js.php"), meaning that the validation can´t work.

PLEASE help with server-side form validation using PHP!!!

I feel like im going round and round in circles with this, after looking into all sorts of server-side advice i've come to the conclusion that i want to validate my form using server-side validation with PHP.
So my form has several drop down menu's and textareas (not all of them need validation). For the part of my form i would like to validate, all i want is the drop downs to have to be changed/selected. So just a simple message like "You must select an option" if customers haven't done so. For the textareas, they just need to be filled out, so a message like "Information required" to come up if customers haven't done so.
I believe i need to create a PHP page say for example 'error.php' place the validation code in there and set this part of the the form to -
<form name="product"form action="error.php" method="post" class="product_form">
BUT im getting really confused with creating the code for the error.php. Please please can anyone help me with this!!!???
Here are the drop down menu's i need validation on, error message being "You must select an option",
"figurine"
"engraving"
"font"
and here are the textareas that need validating, error message "Information required",
"test"
"Name"
"house"
"line_1"
"line_2"
"county"
"postcode"
"tel"

I'd really appreciate any help!!!

Great thats good enough for me. In that case, would you please be able to help me create the javascript for the above validation?? If you could just help me create it for this page i can amend it for all the other pages. I'd really really appreciate it!!!
Can you follow the below example?? Obviously AFTER validation has been successful you need to collect the information from the form and send it to the recipient email address...that's where you can use php. I'll check back tomorrow and see how you are doing.

Tabular Form Validation not working in tabular form APEX 4.0

Hi,
I am using APEX 4.0. I have a tabular form with Tabular form validation done with it.
Item not null is the validation.. so if I dont type any value in the any of the fields in the tabular form and press the Submit button, the first time error is shown... but when I click the Submit button again, with still the empty rows the page is submitted.
How to resolve this issue?
Edited by: Suzi on Oct 5, 2010 11:13 AM

Look at this thread - Re: Validations of tabular forms in 4.0

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?

Script for Form validator in head causes error

When I use the Window/Behaveiors/ to create a form validator, Dreamweaver CS5 puts script in the Head of page, and seems to work ok. But when I validate page with W3c it says there are errors with code and as Dreamweaver created this I have no idea what to do to put right, so could someone please help. This is code generated by Dreamweaver, all other pages have past with flying colors!
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_validateForm() { //v4.0
if (document.getElementById){
    var i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_validateForm.arguments;
    for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2]; val=document.getElementById(args[i]);
      if (val) { nm=val.name; if ((val=val.value)!="") {
        if (test.indexOf('isEmail')!=-1) { p=val.indexOf('@');
          if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain an e-mail address.\n';
        } else if (test!='R') { num = parseFloat(val);
          if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.\n';
          if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf(':');
            min=test.substring(8,p); max=test.substring(p+1);
            if (num<min || max<num) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n';
      } } } else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is required.\n'; }
    } if (errors) alert('The following error(s) occurred:\n'+errors);
    document.MM_returnValue = (errors == '');
</script>

If the script is working fine in all browsers, you could put it in an external JS file and link to it, then the W3C validator won't find an error.
If you don't know already, learn about how to do this:

Submit by email not working as form validation failed.

Ive created a form with mulitple pages. Three pages require form validation.
Each page is a unique process so I'm trying to use the "Submit button" to only submit that
particular page. I've created dummy fields as defaults to cure the validation problem but
can't seem to get the e-mail button to work. I also created a email dummy button with the
scripting:
EmailSubmitButton.execEvent("click");
I did this to try to force the the form to be sumitted via PDF. I am a novice at this so please
help. I'd be happy to send the form as well for review

You may need to enable usage rights in your form. You must have version 8 to do this. Open the form in Acrobat Pro (not Livecycle), click on Advanced tab, then select "enable usage rights in Adobe Reader"

Need to invoke bean method prior to initial page

I have a web application with a default welcome page (index.jsp) that automatically forwards to a page with JSF tags in it (home.jsp). I use:
<jsp:forward page="home.faces" />to accomplish this. This works fine for rendering the JSF tags in the page as long as the page does not need data from the server.
However, this is not the case. I need to have a backing bean method invoked as follows:
// ActionListener handler.
public void retrievePagerList(ActionEvent event) {
    if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
      logger.debug("In retrievePagerList method of backing PagerBean.");
    try {
      setPagers(PagerDAO.selectAll());
    catch (SQLException e) {
      logger.error("Error retrieving list of pagers: ", e);
public void setPagers(List pagers) {
    this.pagers = pagers;
    if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
      logger.debug("Number of pagers set: " + pagers.size());
}I want to load a list of objects from the database so that the initial page shown to the users has a list of pagers displayed as follows:
<f:view>
<h:form>
<h:dataTable styleClass="dataTable"
               value="#{pagerBean.pagers}"
               var="pager">
    <h:column>
    <h:commandLink id="editPager"
                   title="Edit Pager"
                   value="Edit"
                   action="edit"
                   actionListener="#{pagerBean.editPager}">
    </h:commandLink>
    </h:column>
    <h:column>
      <h:outputText value="#{pager.pagerType}"/>
    </h:column>
    <h:column>
      <h:outputText value="#{pager.pagerName}"/>
    </h:column>
</h:dataTable>
</h:form>
</f:view>How can I accomplish this? I cannot seem to find a way to have a backing bean method invoked to put objects into the request (or session scope) in order for the initial JSP to display properly.

jsf 1.2 will contains beforePhaseListener attribute for f:view that allows to call some code before page is loaded. For the current jsf version, it is usually recommended to register your own phase listener that is invoked "before Render Response" phase.

Form Validations

How to perform form validations in ADF. And also can i customize the behaviour of "Required" property of a UIComponent? I dont want alert boxes to be shown Can i change that?

you might want to think about using one of the popup LOV item types for your employee ID field. popup LOVs are great for cases where you don't want to weigh your page down w/large lists of values. about your validation, if you really want to do it client-side, then javascript's probably the way to go (search google for code). if you do that, though, let the record show that you'd have to fetch your valid values down to your page for your comparison logic, anyhow. i'd consider using a regular htmldb validation for your emp id field. you seemed concerned in your post with the page submission. i'm assuming that's because you didn't want processing to occur unless the validation passes. if that's the case, fear not, it's a simple matter to set your processing to occur only after your validations have passed. check out the available "Process Point"s and "Computation Point"s for htmldb Processes and Computations to see what i mean.
hope this helps,

PHP Form Validation and Radio Group

Hi David,
I'm trying to set the initial state of a radio group to none.
Please look at the file http://ecopethandbags.com/contact.php. The initial state is set to "No"
In Dreamweaver, I've set the initial state to "Unchecked"
I don't understand the code for the radio buttons in my file (see attachment).
What I am trying to do is to have the radio group initially unchecked but required.
I have 2 questions:
1) - How can I control the initial status of the radio group when I use the PHP form validation?
2) - How can I set the validation so, when one of the radio buttons is not checked by the user, a warning flag like "Please make a choice" comes up.
Thank you much!

Just change the following section of code:
<?php
if (!$_POST || isset($missing) && $_POST['subscribe'] == 'n') {
echo 'checked="checked"';
} ?>
Remove the !$_POST || like this:
<?php
if (isset($missing) && $_POST['subscribe'] == 'n') {
echo 'checked="checked"';
} ?>
The checked="checked" will be inserted into the code only if the form has been submitted, but neither radio button has been selected.

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.com

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"
here is index.php code...

Web Form Validation Message Language Setting at Runtime when work in multi lingual environment

Business Catalyst use the default culture language to display web form validation message.
When we are in multi lingual environment and not using subdoamin to handle multilingual sites, we found that the validation message did appear in the default culture setting. To make this work, we need to add the below script in our template.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var head= document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var script= document.createElement('script');
script.src= '/BcJsLang/ValidationFunctions.aspx?lang=FR';
script.charset = 'utf-8';
script.type= 'text/javascript';
head.appendChild(script);
</script>
Assuming the template is in french. You can change the lang parameter in the script according to your language.

After user 1 submits the page, it might not even be committed, so there is no way to have the pending data from user1 seen by user2.
However, we do have a new feature in ADF 11g TP4 that I plan to blog more about called Auto-Refresh view objects. This feature allows a view object instance in a shared application module to refresh its data when it receives the Oracle 11g database change notification that a row that would affect the results of the query has been changed.
The minimum requirements in 11g TP4 to experiment with this feature which I just tested are the following:
1. Must use Database 11g
2. Database must have its COMPATIBLE parameter set to '11.0.0.0.0' at least
3. Set the "AutoRefresh" property of the VO to true (on the Tuning panel)
4. Add an instance of that VO to an application module (e.g. LOVModule)
5. Configure that LOVModule as an application-level shared AM in the project properties
6. Define an LOV based on a view accessor that references the shared AM's VO instance
7. DBA must have performed a 'GRANT CHANGE NOTIFICATION TO YOURUSER'
8. Build an ADF Form for the VO that defined the LOV above and run the web page
9. In SQLPlus, go modify a row of the table on which the shared AM VO is based and commit
When the Database delivers the change notification, the shared AM VO instance will requery itself.
However that notification does not arrive all the way out to the web page, so you won't see the change until the next time you repaint the list.
Perhaps there is some way to take it even farther with the active data feature PaKo mentions, but I'm not familiar enough with that myself to say whether it would work for you hear.

Changing pop-up for form validating

I have simple contact forms that are validated which makes sure the fields in the form are filled out and that it is a proper email address.
I have 2 contact forms on the same page. On the first one the field name's and id's are "name", "email" and "question". If you click the submit button a pop-up come up with:
The following error(s) occurred:
- name is required.
- email is required.
- question is required.
The second form has name's and id's are "name-main", "email-main" and "question-main". The pop-up comes up with:
The following error(s) occurred:
- name-main is required.
- email-main is required.
- question-main is required.
The first one is OK but is their a way to change the second one to something more user friendly?

Yeah, I just picked up your other thread so you can't use a 'class' as that's already assigned to the input tag.
You could just forget the protocol about duplicating id's and repeat 'name' as the id for the second form. Only one form will be active at any given time.

PHP Form Validation and Insert Records

Hi There,
I've been scratching my head for 2 days and couldn't find a solution.
Here is my problem:
Go to http://ecopethandbags.com/contactTest.php and click the "Send Comments" button.
You will see that the validation works.
Now, go to http://ecopethandbags.com/contactTestInsert.php, this time, I've inserted the "Insert Record" server behavior.
Click the "Send Comments" button again.
You will see the ugly message like "Column 'firstname' cannot be null" in a plain white page.
My question is:
How can I insert the PHP form records in my database and take advantage of the form validation nicely like in http://ecopethandbags.com/contactTest.php
I am attaching the files.
Thank you for you help!

Use simple PHP logic to merge the scripts together.
Dreamweaver automatically puts the Insert Record server behavior code at the top of the script. You need to adapt it so that the validation is done first. If the validation succeeds, use the Insert Record server behavior. If not, redisplay the form.
if (array_key_exists('send', $_POST)) {
// validate the form input
if (!$suspect && empty($missing)) {
// send the mail
    if ($mailSent) {
    unset($missing);
    // insert the Insert Record server behavior code here

DOCTYPE tag above CF's form validation javascript

Hi,
CF 8 seems to put the form validation javascript at the very top of the page, even before the HTML tag and the DOCTYPE validation tag. This is causing problems with my style sheet. Do you know of a way I can (at the very least), put my DOCTYPE tag above the javscript that CF renders?
Thank you,
David
