I am using a _javascript_ function to check a required field and to check if the user has entered whitespace to bypass validation.
Here is the code:
<h:commandButton id="submit" styleClass="button"
action="" />
function validate(form){
var requestor = form["HWRForm:requestedby"].value;
var error;
if(requestor && requestor.match(/^\w+$/)){
form.submit();
} else{
alert('Please enter the Requestors Name');
}
}
When the user doesn't enter any thing for the field 'requestedby', the alert is shown and the control stays in the same page. But when the user enters a whitespace for the aforementioned field and clicks on the button the alert is shown and is taken to another the page as if it were a success. Can anyone please help me out?
Thanks a lot,
