Hello All,
Can i do the conditional validation. For example if i have a drop down
and the default value is "Please select one". if user dosen't select
anything. validation won't show that it is required field to select.
can anyone please help. Also how do i validation for radio button to see
that user select something.
the entry in my validation.xml looks like this:
<field property="product"
depends="required,mask">
<msg name="mask" key="myForm.product.maskmsg"/>
<arg0 key="myForm.product.displayname"/>
<var>
<var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>^\w+$</var-value>
</var>
</field>
Newt, sorry, just noticed your thread was hijacked and you never got an
answer. What you're looking for to perform conditional validation is the
'validwhen' validation rule [1]. For your dropdown select case you can
just use 'required'. For the radio buttons, if they each have the same
name 'required' will work there too. If the radio buttons each have a
different name, you'll need to use 'validwhen' to construct a condition
for each radio button that says it is valid if '(radio1 != null) or
(radio2 != null) or ...'.
