Text validation widget bug?

I have used text validation in a table body like this:
<table style="width:20%">
<tbody id="login_val">
<tr><td>E-Mail</td><td><input
name="login" id="login" type="text"></td></tr>
<tr class="textfieldRequiredMsg"><td
colspan="2">Enter your login E-Mail.</td></tr>
<tr class="textfieldInvalidFormatMsg"><td
colspan="2">Enter a valid E-Mail address.</td></tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
<tr><td></td><td><input
name="submint" id="submit" type="submit" value="Log
In"></td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Initialised with: var login_val = new
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("login_val", "email",
{validateOn:["blur"]});
If there is an input error - the error table-row shows up as
expected but the first td of the first row (the one showing the
word 'E-Mail') suddenly has a colspan"2" on it too. (tested only in
Firefox)
Do I miss something here? Or is this a bug? Feature???
Cheers from down under.

Hello,
I think the problem in this situation appears because of the
CSS definition. The default definition right now to display an
error message is:
.textfieldRequiredState .textfieldRequiredMsg,
display: inline;
color: #CC3333;
border: 1px solid #CC3333;
When this class is used with table rows the results are
unexpected because the table rows have a special status and cannot
normally be displayed as an inline element. Unfortunately your
scenario hit a browser limitation in the CSS implementation. The IE
because it doesn't have yet support for display:table as the CSS2
specify will render "correctly (?!)" the display:inline or
display:block on table row elements. FF because it has correct
support for display:table-row will work incorrectly with the inline
as the specification mention.
The only solution I see is to manipulate the CSS height
property, margin and padding instead of manipulating the display if
you want to continue to use the table structure above.

Cristian

Validation widget don't work in regions?

Is it true, Validation Widget don't work in regions? If I
create a text validation widget, then wrap it in a region for xml
data, the validation no longer functions for the widget. Is there
something I'm missing here, or does it simply not work in that
configruation?
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
There is a workaround to have the validation widgets working
inside a spry:region.n
The reason why they don't work inside a region is because the
spry region removes anything from page when it is created. In this
way, the widget remains somewhere in the memory instantiated and
will search from an element that no longer exists.This will make
the widget to not function properly.
You should do the following to have the widgets working
inside a spry:region.
- add the widgets' constructors instantiation inside the
region
- make an extra check if the widgets already exist and
destroy them if any. I
Below is a code sample of what you should do:
<div spry:region="ds1">
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<span id="sprytextfield1">
<input type="text" name="text1" id="text1" />
<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">A value is
required.</span></span>
<p><span id="sprytextarea1">
<label>
<textarea name="textarea1" id="textarea1" cols="45"
rows="5"></textarea>
<span id="countsprytextarea1"> </span>
</label>
<span class="textareaRequiredMsg">A value is
required.</span><span
class="textareaMinCharsMsg">Minimum number of characters not
met.</span><span class="textareaMaxCharsMsg">Exceeded
maximum number of characters.</span></span></p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button"
value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</div>
Hope this makes things more clear,

Where is Hint Box for Validation Text Field widget?

I want to enter a hint for my form.
I am following the instructions on the Adobe Using Dreamweaver CS4 page for Insert and edit the Validation Text Field widget page:
<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSEB5440BC-453A-4101-928C-302199E7E02F. html#WS8E6EA74E-87AC-4a81-A5CC-2DB6FB451DE0a>
It says:
Create a hint for a text field
Because there are so many different kinds of formats for text fields, it is helpful to give your users a hint as to what format they need to enter. For example, a text field set with the Phone Number validation type will only accept phone numbers in the form (000) 000-0000. You can enter these sample numbers as a hint so that the text field displays the correct format when the user loads the page in a browser.
1. Select a Validation Text Field widget in the Document window.
2. In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), enter a hint in the Hint text box.
However, the is no hint box in my Propeties area.
How do I get this hint box to show up?
Dreamweaver CS4, Windows Vista

Hi David,
My Property inspector looks different than what you have below.
I do not have a Hint box and I do not have the Customize this widget.
I did have a Hint box and the Customize this widget for CS3, howver not for CS4

Function to perform onSubmit - validation widget

Ok, Ussually, when a form takes time to load the destination
page (event that I will call
form submission delay), the user tends to press again the
submit button. Every time the button is pressed, the information is
sent again. In spite of that the user will, of course only be sent
once to the page specified in the action attribute of the form. So,
the user may think he did right by pressing the button many times,
but we end up with multiple copies of the same information.
The solution I came up with, was to modify the validation
widget javascript file as follows:
function realizarAlRemitir()
if (!Spry.Widget.Form.onSubmit) {
Spry.Widget.Form.onSubmit = function(e, form)
if (Spry.Widget.Form.validate(form) == false) {
return false;
realizarAlRemitir()
return true;
I created a wildcard function "realizarAlRemitir()" to be
performed only when, having pressed the submit button, there is no
incorrect or empty required field to fill.
Then, in the html page containig the form, Iredefined the
"realizarAlRemitir()" function as follows:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
This function "draws" using a modified spry effect a div tag
that effectively blocks the whole form so that the user cannot
modify the information or press again the submit button, while
giving her or him appropriate feedback that indicates that the
submission is being performed correctly.
This is the sample page:
http://192.168.10.2/nuevawebdesarrollo/eventos/conferencia.aspx?id=mbatc
Finnally, my question is whether or not there is a less
intrusive way to do such a thing, meaning, not having to touch the
javascript files code. I didn't find one, for instance, so will
some functionality like this be added to the framework? And,
lastly, once the framework is embedded inside Dreamweaver, will we
still be able to make such changes, without generating some trouble
that will cause the framework to stop working correctly with
dreamweaver.

Hello Marin,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I´m really sorry I made the
mistake of giving you our internal address. I'm used to just
copy/pasting it and sending the link to be reviewed. In spite of
that, you seem to have gotten the idea, perfectly fine, so thanks
again for making the effort to reply to a flawed question.
This is the public link, so It should work well for you:
http://www.esan.edu.pe/nuevawebdesarrollo/eventos/conferencia.aspx?id=mbatc
It's in spanish, but I don't think language matters to
understand how it works. Your solution is perfect, as it
effectively stops the user from pressing the submit button more
than once.
Still, the final part of my question holds. We are inserting
an event, after the submit button has been pressed and,
consequently, after we've got your javascript files running. So,
the only way to insert such an event is messing with the files. Or
can it be done with our own scripts? Will there be a less intrusive
way to do such a thing, meaning, not having to touch the javascript
code of your source files to add events or functionality? I didn't
find a way but that doesn't mean that there isn't one, right? I'm
worried that now that we have dreamweaver CS3, if anybody needs to
do such a thing, dreamweaver will no longer recognize the files and
it will look like in the preview window, that we didn't insert it,
even if it still works perfectly in the browser.
Thanks again,
DANTESAENZ

Ben,
You need to add a function observer that will instantiate the form widgets and add the Form Widget Init observer to the region.

Validation Widget onSubmit

I would like to use the validation widgets when submitting
data via Spry.Utils.loadURL. The validations work automatically
when the form is submitted, but I want to call the
Spry.Utils.loadURL in a function in an onSubmit function. Is there
a way to invoke the validation manually?
Something like:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function SendFormCallback(request)
//callback processing here
function SendForm(theForm)
Spry.Utils.loadURL("GET", "
http://"+document.domain+"/scripts/myProxy.cfm?method=sendemail&"+formValsToString(theForm ),
true, SendFormCallback);
</script>
<form name="myForm" method="post" action=""
onSubmit="SendForm('myForm'); return false;">
<table>
<tr valign="top">
<td align="right" valign="top"
class="label">Name:</td>
<td align="left" id="nameWidget"><input type="text"
name="nameField" id="nameField" size="70">
<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">Please enter your
name. </span></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td align="center" colspan="2"><input type="submit"
name="Submit" value="Submit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var nameWidget = new
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("nameWidget", "none",
{useCharacterMasking:true,
validateOn:["blur","change"]});</script>

Thanks for your help on this.
Just wanted to let you know that in order to get this to work
I had to add:
var theForm = document.getElementById(form);
So I ended up with:
function SendForm(form)
var theForm = document.getElementById(form);
var ret = Spry.Widget.Form.validate(theForm);
if (ret)
Spry.Utils.loadURL("GET", "
http://"+document.domain+"/scripts/myProxy.cfm?
method=sendemail&"+formValsToString(theForm), true,
SendFormCallback);
}

Validation Widgets

When I create a new div id for my form the color is not
changing from gray to yellow when selected. It just stay yellow in
my background.
I am using the Validation Widgets Demo template for testing.
It only happen when I create a custom input field like name
and address the background is yellow.
I try looking around in the css codes and can't find any
linking words to my input text fields .
Here is the link
http://www.sarniasatellite.com/Contact_Viewsatusa.html
thanks for the help

Hello,
1. When the user select any form input the corresponding
validation widget apply a css class name on the input HTML
container. Based on this class you can highlight the background
color of your input. If you create a generic CSS rule it will apply
to every input textfield in page. In the same time you can specify
for each input a different color.
The corresponding "focus" classes for each widget are:
selectFocusState - Select Validation Widget
textfieldFocusState - Textfield Validation Widget
textareaFocusState - Textarea Validation Widget
You can search into the corresponding css of each validation
widget you already included in your page and change the background
for all the textfields:
.textfieldFocusState input, input.textfieldFocusState {
background-color: #blue;
or you can change a single one:
.textfieldFocusState #fName1{
background-color: pink;
2. The default behaviour for the Validation Widgets is to
request a value to be inserted. However this behavior could be
switched off by using the isRequired option for each widget:
isRequired: false

Function returning error text validation

Hi,
I have a page where i can insert/update user, organisation, responsible.
Organisation can be nullable.
Only one user at a time can be responsible for a organisation.
To check this responsible validation i made a function returning error text validation as follow:
BEGIN
FOR c IN (SELECT usr_spa
FROM kpi_users
WHERE usr_org_id = :p22_usr_org_id
LOOP
IF upper(:p22_usr_spa) = upper('YES') and upper(c.usr_spa) = upper('YES')
THEN
RETURN 'A user is already responsible for this organisation'||'!';
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
The validation works fine.
But it goes wrong when i want to insert a new user, without assigning him to an organisation.
I get following message:
ORA-01722: invalid number
ERR-1024 Unable to run "function body returning text" validation.
Can someone please help me solve this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
try:
BEGIN
FOR c IN (SELECT usr_spa
FROM kpi_users
WHERE usr_org_id = nvl(:p22_usr_org_id,-1)
LOOP
IF upper(:p22_usr_spa) = upper('YES') and upper(c.usr_spa) = upper('YES')
THEN
RETURN 'A user is already responsible for this organisation'||'!';
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;This assumes that :p22_usr_org_id could be null and converts this to -1 (pick another default value if this may exist as an id). It is possible that the statement would otherwise be seen as WHERE usr_org_id = null which is invalid.
or you could do:
BEGIN
IF :p22_usr_org_id IS NOT NULL THEN
FOR c IN (SELECT usr_spa
FROM kpi_users
WHERE usr_org_id = :p22_usr_org_id
LOOP
IF upper(:p22_usr_spa) = upper('YES') and upper(c.usr_spa) = upper('YES')
THEN
RETURN 'A user is already responsible for this organisation'||'!';
END IF;
END LOOP;
END IF;
END;As this would stop the validation running if the :p22_usr_org_id is null.
Or, you could just make your validation conditional on p22_usr_org_id not being null?

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?

Import Manager Usage : Approaches for developing Import file structure and text validations

Hi Experts,
We are having 50+ import maps. We have provided option to users to drop the files for data import. Currently Import Manager(7.1 Sp08) does not have capability of pre-import validation of file data such as
a. file structure - number of columns specific to import map
b. file text validations - special characters, empty lines, empty cells
c. Uniqueness of the records in the file
For this, we are planning to build temporary folder(port specific) in which user drops in the file. We use the custom development to do above mentioned validations and then move the files to actual import ports.
Please let us know if you have worked on similar requirements and how you have fulfilled such requirements.
Regards,
Ganga

Hi Ganga,
Assuming you have a well defined xsd and are getting valid xmls from source in the Inbound Port of MDM. Also,you have a Primary key in form of External ID (say).
So just by making and defining a XSD you get most of what you want in your questions a and b.
Now if you wish to use PI to drop files in the inbound port then you can build all the validations in PI itself and you would not need Staging table.
Otherwise,you can have another table (preferably Main table) in the same repository or other dummy repository where records are created on import based on External ID.
Here you can launch an MDM workflow on import of these records and run assignments to replace unwanted characters and Validations to give error for rejecting some records based on the data quality level desired.Once unwanted characters are removed and data is validated it can be syndicated using a syndication step in the Workflow.So records which fail are not sent and which pass are sent to a outbound port.
From the outbound port PI or some other job can pick the file from this outbound folder and drop to Inbound folder of the same repository which imports to the required Primary Main table.Here again you have the option to leverage validations in PI and further check if data is fine.
Once this activity is done you can delete the records from the staging table.
Thanks,
Ravi

Making a Swf a valid widget

I have a swf carousel that will work sat inside an HTML file for the purposes of siting on a web page.
What as3 code do I need to make this a valid widget?
I don't actually need it to interact with the captivate project, but I need the user to be able to click the images on the carousel and view the image on the carousel stage area inside the project.

The Widget King blog is your best resource for advice about coding widgets for Captivate using the WidgetFactory API.
Take a look at this post about setting the widget type:

Radio Validation Widget Blocked by table formatting?

We are building a form we will be using to assess user
satisfaction with our application (university employee development)
and it contains a number of likert scale questions (one a scale of
1-5 this best addresses . . . . ). The likert scale is displayed in
a table format.
The problem is that the spry Radio validation widget
(radioRequiredMsg) will ONLY display if the table formatting is
suppressed. The table formatting appears to be blocking the spry
validation.
Anyone have any idea why this is? Or how we could solve this
problem?
Please HELP!
thanks in advance

What exactly causes that bug? I ask because I tried for at least 15 minutes to recreate it now and I didn't manage once. Probably something wrong with your phone. i realized that when you go back to your home screen the play button is lit up and the skip buttons are dim even when playing music.
On my phone when it's playing the play buttons turns to a pause button and the skip buttons light up. Was your phone always like this? If I knew how to make that happen I could help you pin point what's causing it.

Dreaded "Not a Valid Widget" Error

Hi Folks,
I'm getting the dreaded "Not a Valid Widget" error when I try to import my Flash (Professional CS5) file as a widget into my Captivate 5 project. I've done my research on this problem, and found an earlier post from Vikranth regarding copying the AS3\static actionscript into the first frame of the Flash file:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3614964
However, I'm not getting enough detail about exactly where to past this actionscript into Flash.
Is this truly the fix? Even for the latest software fully updated?. If this is still the fix, am I going to have to do this every time I construct a Flash widget?
Very much appreciate your help,
Roger

I think you may misunderstand. Installing WidgetFactory or any other API on your PC is not an instant fix for some issue in your widget coding. I suggested that you go with an API because they are better documented than the Adobe templates and offer far more possibilities in the long run.
To get the most out of the APIs you need to read the tutorials and documentation provided by their creators. Only then will you understand the differences in the templates, which use a framescripting approach to coding, versus the APIs, which use a class-based coding approach. When using the APIs you do NOT use the Adobe templates at all to create widgets. You begin your widget directly in Flash.
Try these two tutorials first to get an idea of how it's done:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/widgetking/2010/11/building-widgets-in-flash/
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/widgetking/2010/11/sign-up-for-the-widget-eseminars/
Flash and Captivate DO work together very well, but only if you know what you are doing. What's currently wrong with your picture is that you need to learn a lot more about how widgets work and how they need to be created. As your ActionScript 3 skills improve, so will your widgets.

Not a valid widget

This is so frustrating.   My Cap 5 keeps vomiting the not a valid widget error.....
From Captivate 5:
File>new project>Widget in Flash
I select AS3, Static   (default)
New file opens in Flash.   I chnage nothing....   I publish the swf from flash.
Go back to captivate 5 and attempt to:
Insert>widget
"Not a valid widget"
How can this be?    It has the default Adobe widget code??    It has no functionality.... but seriously...   it should allow it to be imported.
I've checked the settings within Flash:
File>Actionscript settings
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5\ActionScript\export\as3
I know what CPgears and Widget factory do...    I get it... so don't point me that way...     but I want to know WHY Adobe prodcut to Adobe product is broken...    I've checked the web, and it appears that everyone that has the same error as me were given work arounds...   not a genuine fix.
This is the usual Adobe frustration...
