RE: CForms 2.1 javascript validation not working

[Gary Larsen]

Hi Barbara,

 

I finally had a closer look at this.  With your help I figured out that not
only is returning false necessary but setValidationError() is also.

 

Thanks so much!

Hello

 

I use cocoon-2.2.0 and do my validation like this:

 

<fd:validation>

          <fd:javascript>

                      var success=true;

                      if (some-test) {widget.setValidationError(new
Packages.org.apache.cocoon.forms.validation.ValidationError("my-error",true)
); success=false;}

                      return success;

          </fd:javascript>

</fd:validation>

 

and in my flow I have:

 

form.load(my-data);

form.showForm("my-form");

if (form.isValid) {

          form.save(my-data);

          ...

}

Hi,

 

For some reason javascript validation stopped working on all forms (2.1.9):

 

          <fd:validation>

            <fd:javascript>

              cocoon.log.error("test validation: return false");

              return false;

            </fd:javascript>

         </fd:validation>

 

The validation is fired on a submit widget yet the form is still being
submitted.  Would anyone have an idea what may be wrong?

 

Thanks for any suggestions!  I'm stumped right now.
