Re: Client side validation behaviors - already started?

2008-10-05 Thread Jörn Zaefferer
First thing that I have to notice:
ClientAndServerExactLengthValidatingBehavior is an awful class name.
LengthValidation would be enough.

The other thing: I wouldn't use clientside validation when it
validates on submit only. It should validate non-empty fields on blur,
and fields already marked as invalid on keyup. Without that there
really isn't much of a point in using clientside validation at all.

I'll try to look at your actual code, though some examples would help a lot!

 Here are the basic features:

   - By simply replacing formcomponent.add(StringValidator.exactLength(4))
   with add(new ClientAndServerExactLengthValidatingBehavior(form, 4)), it will
   do the client side validation and add the server side IValidator for you.
   - It is internationalized because it uses all of the same resource keys /
   messages that the standard Wicket validators use.
   - It can insert feedback messages onto the page in a feedback panel or
   other WebMarkupContainer by calling feedbackpanel.add(new
   ClientAndServerValidatingFeedbackBehavior(form)) - this will make it use the
   same appearance that the normal feedback panel would generate.

 I'm sure there is quite a bit of stuff that can be cleaned up, especially in
 the JS code.  For instance, I'm using document.getElementById quite a bit,
 but I'm not sure if there are some browsers that may not support that.  I
 need to look because I can't remember.  Anyway, feedback is welcome!

 NOTE: I had started it within another project and was testing it there.  I
 have not had time to test it again after I moved it to its own project.
 Since all I did was move it, add the license info and rename the packages,
 it should still work, but you know how that goes.

Re: Client side validation behaviors - already started?

2008-10-04 Thread Jörn Zaefferer
Okay, this sounds like the validation plugin (I've written) could be
useful: http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/

You'd add a very small script to the head: $(function() {
$(#formid).validate() });

And then create inline rules based on the validation behaviour. There
are two options for those: Either classes and (custom attributes) or
metadata (which requires an additional plugin). I think
classes/attributes work really well and result in readable HTML,
though depending on the rules in use, it won't validate. For example,
to make an input required and an email address:

input class=required email name=... /

For an optional input with min and max length:

input minlength=5 maxlength=15 /

For an input with min/max value:

input min=5 max=10 /
Those are actually attributes defined by HTLM5
(http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-min-and-max-attributes).
I've tried to keep it close to specs where possible and already
existing.

The thing is: generating those classes/attributes with Wicket is
really easy and already works fine in a lot of projects. Let me know
if invalid HTLM isn't acceptable, and I'll detail the alternatives.

2008-06-29 Thread Matthijs Wensveen
Yes, of course. But the form is not posted when the client side does not 
validate. Of course the posted form is validated on the server too.


Anyway, the nice thing is that you only have to say something like 
setClientSideValidation(true) and it just works. It's all very 
transparent, which is cool. I'm not a M$ fanboy or anything (if I was, I 
wouldn't even be typing this), but I did like that particular feature.

Re: Client side validation

2008-06-24 Thread Igor Vaynberg
the reason we have not done this is that client side validation is
limited. also a lot of applications want a consistent look and feel
for javascript validation, which is not possible via a framework. what
we are going to do in 1.5 is allow ivalidator to also implement
ibehavior, this will allow a clean way of spitting out the javascript
from a validator, which is where it belongs.

for now we have a half-way solution which uses ajax and has the

Wow...that's sad, but I hardly think that's the norm and such extremes

Any other arguments against such a default?  The reason I'm bringing

section 508 compliance does *not* prohibit javascript or Ajax.  You
just have to be careful how you use ajax for progressive

Using ajax for form validation definately does not break accessability
since you still get the *same behavior* with the full page refresh

Yep.  That's what I posted on my blog.

I'm just asking if there's any interest in making this the *default*
behavior.  When people evaluate wicket for the first time, they are
always looking for out of the box functionality.  Even though it's
trivial customize your application with this behavior, the majority
of users WON'T do it because it's not out of the box.

I just think it's a cool feature and other frameworks seem to be
investigating client side validation...

your default is simply not good - updating feedback panels is rarely
enough. also a lot of times users add a feedback panel per form
component, so you will needlessly update tens of feedback panels
rather then the single one that needs it. not a good default.

imho the best default still remains the one that adds no additional
functionality that wasnt explicitly asked for.

because that class encapsulates the workflow needed to get this done,
so users dont have to reinvent the wheel. its there for you to use
optionally...if you want.

there is really no preferred way to use it because the usecase space
for this is huge across all applications. i dont really see anything
wrong with rolling your own form subclass, any ide can do a search and
replace for you. what next? someone wants their textfields not to trim
input globally, so we have to provide a hook for that?

 I *know* there are a million ways to do this, but that shouldn't stop
 a framework from having good default behavior.

good, so you can see where im coming from when i say what you suggest
is not a good default.

Okay everyone,
after re-reading my posts on this thread, I need to take a minute and
apologize for my previous comments.  They came off very argumentative
and that's not what I intended.

I was *so* excited to share this idea and I was kind of expecting
everyone's response to be more like WOW, this is a *fabulous* idea.
=)

I really appreciate the comments, and realize it's a bigger topic than
I originally thought.  I think I'm going to take some time to think
this over and maybe write a blog or two on the subject.

My original goal was to see something change with Wicket's core, but
maybe all that's needed is a wiki article/cookbook for users to walk
through.

Thanks again, and I'm genuinely sorry if I pissed anyone off.  Really!

Re: client side validation

Hi

Just a thought about client side validation.

I have looked at simple validation like maxlength, min length stuff like
that. The jQuery
validation plugin solves that easily.

My idea was to inherit from the corresponding wicket-validator and implement
IBehavoir.
Then I would be able to generate javascript based on the validator.

I would then add my javascript-enabled-validator  to the form classes.

Would that be a way to go?  comments anyone?

The problem I see is to get the name attribute from the formcomponent,
but I guess I have to look at the Javadoc for wicket

mixing validators and behaviors has been on our todo list for a while,

we will do it for 1.4

as far as getting the name of formcomponent, that is already possible

Thanks for the info Igor.

 mixing validators and behaviors has been on our todo list for a while,
 but we couldnt do it cleanly in 1.3 because it would mean an api
 break.

 we will do it for 1.4

 as far as getting the name of formcomponent, that is already possible
 through ibehavior.bind(component)

  Hi
 
  Just a thought about client side validation.
 
  I have looked at simple validation like maxlength, min length stuff like
  that. The jQuery
  validation plugin solves that easily.
 
  My idea was to inherit from the corresponding wicket-validator and
 implement
  IBehavoir.
  Then I would be able to generate javascript based on the validator.
 
  I would then add my javascript-enabled-validator  to the form classes.
 
  Would that be a way to go?  comments anyone?
 
  The problem I see is to get the name attribute from the formcomponent,
  but I guess I have to look at the Javadoc for wicket

That doesn't work.

Sometimes you want to add multiple behaviors to the same event. Wicket
doesn't support that.

 So, create an IComponentInstantiationListener that looks for Forms and
