well even with what I had originally, my expression should invalidate the data if the string less than 10, if you see what I mean.
the problem actually seems to be that the expression does nothing, regardless of what the actual expression is. I have tried: string.length() < 10 string.length() > 10 string.length() == 1 string.length() != 1 and all sorts of variations in between, just to get an expression to do anything. if I simply use: string.length() I get a message saying something like: 'returned N when boolean expected' where N is the string length. so I know that that part of the expression is fine, just the minute I do anything more complex: nothing. no message, no error, no validation. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pat Lightbody Sent: Tuesday, 10 June 2003 5:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [OS-webwork] Expression Validation Have you tried string.length() < 10? The validation expression stuff is a little funky.. sometime I think opposite of what it is (true validates, false doesn't -- or vice-versa). -Pat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Toby Hede" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 9:11 PM Subject: [OS-webwork] Expression Validation > I am still having problems with expression valdiation. > > basically my 'string.length() > 10' expression doesn't work at all.
