Re: Restric the values in S:TextFields.
On the server-side, use an expression validator to ensure the input
contains only valid characters.
On the client-side either:
- use ajax validation; or
- use a javascript function that listens for the keypress event and
rejects invalid keystrokes
As usual, the javascript keypress event on IE is different from all
other browsers so the function has to include browser detection.
Here is the gist of what you need:
s:textfield name=x onkeypress=filterKeypress() ...
javascript:
function filterKeypress(e) {
var accept = /[\d|\+|\-|\.]/; // a regex pattern of accepted chars
var keyChar;
if (msie) { // use your favourite broswer detection function
keyChar = String.fromCharCode(e.keyCode);
} else {
keyChar = String.fromCharCode(e.which);
}
// check if the character is acceptable
if (!accept.test(keyChar)) {
e.preventDefault(); // if it's not, prevent the keypress event
from proceeding
}
}

Thank you very much Jeromy ,
It works I used the java Scripts for this to validate in client side.

RE: Restric the values in S:TextFields.
Yes Chris , that can be done using JS , But I thought that there should be a
way in struts2 to that.
May be some one have an idea of doing it.If so pls give ur idea to us.
Tnx sanjeewa

The only way I know would be to use JavaScript in an onkeyup handler
that would check the entered value.

If it's unacceptable for the user to even be able to type in 'invalid'
characters then yes. If it's OK to let them type anything but then
notify them after the fact that what they entered isn't acceptable,
there are a few more options. If it's OK for that notification to be
produced as part of the server-side validation when the form is
submitted and redisplayed, it's as easy as using a regex validation rule.
So, sanjeewa, it depends on your exact requirements. I would start by
adding in server-side validation (since that should be there anyway)
then look at adding additional, client-side Javascript
checking/reporting afterwards if you still feel you need it.
