Textfield Validation Breaks

Hello All,
I was designing a page where I wanted the user to be forced
to use the Dynarch Calendar (Great with Spry!!!) and not enter a
date in the wrong format, because Dynarch breaks spry if you try to
enforce a pattern.
So to do this, I set the the "readonly" attribute on the
textfiels so someone cannot enter a date manually and are forced to
use the popup. I have this many times in my site, but I'm starting
to convert all my ADDT forms to SPRY (which is VERY easy, good job
SPRY Team!).
It took me about a day to realize that the readonly was
breaking the validation. Just want to let others know before they
spend a day looking at this for nothing.
Cheers!
Kevin

You can add the following to your onclick function and you
should be all set.
function postForm(YourForm)
var val = Spry.Widget.Form.validate(YourForm);
if (val)
… Your post function

Spry textfield validation

Hi, how can I modify this code for the spry textfield validation.js file? My text field is set to yyyy-mm-dd. When I enter a date and hit the submit button all works well but, how can I modify this portion of the .js file so the date yyyy-mm-dd is not less than today's date?
===================
'date': {
validation: function(value, options) {
var formatRegExp = /^([mdy]+)[\.\-\/\\\s]+([mdy]+)[\.\-\/\\\s]+([mdy]+)$/i;
var valueRegExp = this.dateValidationPattern;
var formatGroups = options.format.match(formatRegExp);
var valueGroups = value.match(valueRegExp);
if (formatGroups !== null && valueGroups !== null) {
var dayIndex = -1;
var monthIndex = -1;
var yearIndex = -1;
for (var i=1; i<formatGroups.length; i++) {
switch (formatGroups[i].toLowerCase()) {
case "dd":
dayIndex = i;
break;
case "mm":
monthIndex = i;
break;
case "yy":
case "yyyy":
yearIndex = i;
break;
if (dayIndex != -1 && monthIndex != -1 && yearIndex != -1) {
var maxDay = -1;
var theDay = parseInt(valueGroups[dayIndex], 10);
var theMonth = parseInt(valueGroups[monthIndex], 10);
var theYear = parseInt(valueGroups[yearIndex], 10);
// Check month value to be between 1..12
if (theMonth < 1 || theMonth > 12) {
return false;
// Calculate the maxDay according to the current month
switch (theMonth) {
case 1: // January
case 3: // March
case 5: // May
case 7: // July
case 8: // August
case 10: // October
case 12: // December
maxDay = 31;
break;
case 4: // April
case 6: // June
case 9: // September
case 11: // November
maxDay = 30;
break;
case 2: // February
if ((parseInt(theYear/4, 10) * 4 == theYear) && (theYear % 100 != 0 || theYear % 400 == 0)) {
maxDay = 29;
} else {
maxDay = 28;
break;
// Check day value to be between 1..maxDay
if (theDay < 1 || theDay > maxDay) {
return false;
// If successfull we'll return the date object
return (new Date(theYear, theMonth - 1, theDay)); //JavaScript requires a month between 0 and 11
} else {
return false;

Excellent, thank you, that will get me in the right
direction. Its not
100%, but I think I can tinker with an expression to get what
I want.
The number is couldn't handle is +44 (0)113 255 7666 but its
not an
approved format anyway, but lots of companies still do it
this way, so I
want to ensure I get it right.
Thanks again!

UI Datepicker and Spry textfield Validation

Hi, I am having a problem with using the UI Date picker and Spry textfield Validation together. I have created a sample form: 2 input boxe, the test box has the datepicker and spry validation and test2 has the date picker only,one submit button and some php code that echos the boxes values on submit.
My date picker is date formated as 'yy-mm-dd' for four digit year. My spry validation is formated 'yyyy-mm-dd' with validate on submit.
Now when I click on the test input box the datepicker comes up normally and i select a date. I then select the date on test2. Once I click the submit button the test field with spry validation come back saying a value is required and nothing else happens.
I was playing around and trying other things to get it to work and I noticed that when I select the test inputbox and the calander pops up if I enter some numbers into the text box then select a date from the datepicker then enter a date in the test2 inputbox and hit submit it works.
So it appears to me that the validation is not reading anything in the test field when I just select a date. Why is that? When I select a date it shows a date in the inputbox. It makes it hard to use the datepicker on a form.
Any help would be a preciated. Code is below.
Thanks Winrol
<?php echo "Test box 1 value = ". $_POST['test']. "<br/>" ?>
<?php echo "Test box 2 value = ". $_POST['test2'] ?>

Error in TextField Validation Widget reset() method

There appears to be an error in the Textfield Validation
Widget's reset() method. When I set the widget to "real" or
"custom" validation, the reset() method is throwing an error when
it reaches the line "this.oldValue = this.input.defaultValue;"
I seached the code and it appears that
"this.input.defaultValue" is not set anywhere else. Is there a
missing option, or is this line incorrect and copied over from
another widget that uses "defaultValue"?

It looks as though you're trying to use main-content as a CSS selector. If it's a class, it should begin with a dot (period) like this:
.main-content
If it's an ID selector, it should begin with a hash:
#main-content

TextField Validation in swings

Hello friends,
i got a problem. i am doing textfield validation using KeyListener.
i can able to detect the keys except Tab key.
When i am pression TAB key the KeyListener is not catching the event.
Actually validation should be in such a way that,
in account number field if i press anyotherkeys otherthan numeric ,del,backspace keys it should not allow to enter.
also it has to give error if user tries to move from that field without entering anydata by pressing TAB or Mouse.
Here exactly getting problem with focus.
Please give your advise
thanks in advance
regards
shashi

TextField Validation in swingsOk, you know its a Swing question, so it should be posting in the Swing forum.
if i press anyotherkeys otherthan numeric ,del,backspace keys it should not allow to enter.You should be using a JFormattedTextField
it has to give error if user tries to move from that field without entering anydata You could try an InputVerifier.

Multiple TextField Validation

I want to do this:
I have 3 textfields, when I click the submit button I want
the validation to check whether there's data in any of the
textfields (at least in one) if so, then all three textfields are
Valid, if non of the textfield have data then all 3 textfields are
invalid.
Is this posible in Spry Framework 1.6.1; if so how is this
done?
I tried a custom validating function with option isRequired:
false on and off without luck.

Ok.Well I cannot provide link to the full page as the site is
not up and running yet. However, here's the full html code;
ofcourse you need to update the link to the spry code. I am using
spry 1.6.

I'm using a filed spry text field validation. It works perfectly when y press submit, but I need to do this:

Urgent Pls... Textfield validation

Hi All,
In a textfield its should accept two conditions i.e.,
1) It should accept 10 digits or
2) In a field it should accept two chars and 5 digits. or than that its should pop up an alert.
I have tried setting patterns and worte the script in exit event:
if(this.rawValue == this.formattedValue)
xfa.host.setFocus(this.name);
But the setFocus is going again and again.
Patterns: text{AA99999}|text{9999999999}
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Apurva

Hi Apurva,
You need regular expression for this. Remove all the validations of the text field first i.e display,edit,validation,data.
In the exit event of the field put the following script.
var vPattern = /^([a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9]{5})$|^([0-9]{10})$/;
var result = vPattern.test(this.rawValue);
if (result == false)
xfa.host.setFocus(this.name);
Thanks,
Bibhu.

Textfield validation with XML Data

hello
can i validation a textfield with data from a XML file?
i will read eg usernames form an XML file and will check it
with a username was typed in in a textfield,
if the username exits the textfield is invalid, since the
username was typed in, is not in the XML file.
thanks
jack

Hello,
I don't advise you to make such an scenario. The solution you
propose involve some high security risks and privacy problems
because you send to the browser a complete list of users of your
website.
The Spry Validation Textfield supports callback validation
javascript function. This means you create your own function that
include the necessary code to validate the user input and pass to
the widget as parameter the name of your function. A good sample of
this feature could be seen in the
Password
Validation section.
Regards,
Cristian

Force Textfield Validation??

Hello,
I am using the Spry Text Field Validation widget to validate
my username field in a registration form. On blur, it checks to see
if the username exists. Is there a function I can call from that
checking function to classify that field as invalid?
(Make it turn pink and pop up a custom error message)
I tried to do this manually, but then the spry validation
doesn't work anymore.
I suppose it would be similar to the spry:states feature;
that you could manually classify the field as 'maxchars' or
'invalidFormat', or in my case, 'usernameTaken'...
Thanks alot in advance,
Maquelly

Hi Maquelly,
You have to use a custom validation to do this. Your custom
validation function needs to return true if it passes validation
and false if it doesn't. kjuliff did something like this already
which you can use as an example. Look at these related posts.

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=72&catid=602&threadid =1248092&enterthread=y
I'll file a bug to make sure we have a sample that can walk
folks through this.

TextField validation with multiple options

Hi.
I am trying to create a textField widget that can have a
number of possible correct answers. Can anyone let me know if this
is possible. I have successfully created a textField that validates
one answer with the use of Type Custom, but i am unsure how to have
multiple correct answers for one textField.
Thanks
Barry.

Hi Barry,
to validate more values inside the textfield widget, you have
to create your custom regular expression that fits with what values
you accept for that input field.
So your contructor should look similar with this:
var sprytextfield1 = new
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield1", "custom",
{regExpFilter:/test1|test2|test3/, useCharacterMasking:true});
This regexp is translated: the textfiled will accept only
test1, test2, test3 values.
You can also have this behavior if you create a custom
function having a set of switch values:
switch(){
case1: ...
case2:...
default:false
and you call this function as option in the widget
constructor.

Spry textfield validation for alphanumeric input

Hi,
How can I set the spry input to the following pattern that I need: only allow alphanumeric.

You can build your own custom validations with Spry.
var custom = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("id", "custom", {
validation: function( value, options ){
return /[a-z]/gi.test( value ); // your validation

Textfield validation on values

ALl,
I am relatively new to Spry but I like to implement the Spry
validation widgets in my forms.
One of the tasks I have is checking if an entered number is
already in my database and if so
through an error.
Basically checking the entered value against an array of
numbers.
Could some body help me get started to what the best approach
is to this problem.
( I can code html and php, but my js skills are very basic)
Thanks in advance
KArel

You can add the following to your onclick function and you
should be all set.
function postForm(YourForm)
var val = Spry.Widget.Form.validate(YourForm);
if (val)

Spry textfield validation with custom pattern

I have sussed out the standard custom pattern, and how to
enforce it,
but what I would like to know is how can I allow any numbers,

spaces, brackets, or plus sign, but no letters?
This is for a phone number entry field, where it could be an
international phone number or a standard one for the UK,
where the
length can vary, depending on where you live.

Textfield validation with more than one format

Hi,
I've seen in the past a solution to validate a texfield with more than one format.
Unfortunately, I can't find it back.
I would like to validate the format of Dutch licencenumbers.
There are several formats like:
AA-12-34
12-34-AA
AA-12-AA
AA-AA-12
12-AA-AA
12-AAA-0
one of those formats must be right for validation.
Can sombody give a hint how to do this validation?
Regard,
Jan

Thank a lot!!
I was just forgotten to end the separate groups with a dollar $ sign.
many thanks
Jan
