Phil, I'm not sure. It's probably a limitation of the javascript validator in FarCry.
In my opinion the javascript validator was really cool when first introduced, but FarCry has already advanced farther than the current js validator solution can keep up with. Granted, you can override the validation in FarCry using custom methods (I'm not sure if it's documented, but Mat showed me once and it was pretty cool, albeit a little complicated), however I'm curious if anyone would be interested in replacing the js validation scripts in FarCry with the following jQuery plugin written by one of the jQuery team members http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/ (Documentation here: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation). I've been using it for a few months in some other projects (non-FarCry apps) and it's pretty powerful (and extremely easy to implement and customize). If interested in the plugin, maybe first take a look at Ray Camden's experience/tutorials of using the jQuery plugin. It demonstrates how easily we could customize it to be used with different ftTypes and even offer things like custom error messages (note: This is actually a 3-part series he wrote. The first part is meant to be simple and limited to help introduce the plugin before he gets into more complicated solutions. He even has a few posts he wrote not labeled as part of the series which talks about using the plugin to do even more form validation not previously described in the series: http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2009/2/9/An-introduction-to-jQuery-and-Form-Validation) . Thoughts anyone?... If I raised this as a feature request in the bug tracker, would people vote for it, or am I just pushing jQuery plugins on people again :) ? (I've been known to do that the past several months ever since I got hooked on jQuery). -- Jeff Coughlin Web Application Developer http://jeffcoughlin.com On Jul 6, 2009, at 10:51 AM, Phil Kemp wrote: > > > Jeff, > > ftIncludeDecimal="true" only solved a small part of this. > > In the database I have the value "3000000" which is being displayed > by the > form as "3,000,000" - and that, coupled with validate-number crashes > as a > comma isn't a number. > > How can I stop it automatically formatting the number? > OR > Is the a better validation method I can use? > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/Number-format-validation-issues-tp24323966s621p24356755.html > Sent from the FarCry - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message cos you are subscribed to "farcry-dev" Google group.
