Finding length of widget of datatype="string"

[Aron Shamash <Ar...@dna.co.uk>]

Hi

Up until now I have always validated length of string widget using
<fd:length> eg:

                <fd:length min="4" max="60">
 
<fd:failmessage><i18n:text>slb.addressOneSecondApplicant.length</i18n:te
xt></fd:failmessage>
                </fd:length>  

In this (new) case I only want this validation to be executed depending
on the value of another widget therefore I wanted to use server-side
javascript to find the widget's length. 

This does not appear to be working for me though. 

widget.length is undefined. 

Is this possible? Is there another way around this problem?

Hi Aron,
yes, AFAIK there is no widget.length, you should use 
widget.getValue().length() in java, maybe widget.getValue().length or 
widget.value.length in javascript.

Hope this helps,
Simone
