           Summary: Javascript Validation Functions
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.2.4
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Validator Framework
        AssignedTo: dev@struts.apache.org
        ReportedBy: rlv@bravepoint.com


All the Javascript validation functions, like validateRequired, do not check to
see if the field that is being validated actually exists on the form.  In other
words, they do not do a null check.  I know you may be thinking that if the
field is null, then there should be no validation done on that field.  However,
I have many pages that have one or more fields that may or may not be rendered
on the page based on whom is logged in.  If they are rendered, then they must be
validated; if not, then they obviously do not need to be validated.  So
basically, I had to change the javascript functions to ignore fields that are
null so they will be validated if they exist and ignored if they do not.  The
current code throws a javascript error if they field does not exist.  This seems
like a bug to me.  Basically, all I do is the following in the looping of the
validated fields, after the field is declared:

if (field == null) {
  continue;
}
