Using the validator for client side field modifications
Hi. I've been reading through some of the documentation and I haven't
found exactly what I'm looking for. I'm sure (famous last words) that
this is possible, but I need confirmation for a presentation I'm
making.
I have a form with text fields that I need to convert to upper case,
verify they contain only numbers, etc., but I need to do it "real time",
i.e. using onBlur (this is due to the fact that I am converting an
existing application and need similar functionality). The users want to
see the fields converted and checked when they tab/click out of the
fields.
I have been reading about the validator and the "validator:javascript
formname=myForm" / "onSubmit=validateMyForm" tag combo, but I'm not sure
it does what I want as it seems to be doing a *form* validation.
Could someone point me in the correct direction? My goal is to
consolidate all the javascript into the validator.xml file so I can
reference it by name. Should I just be using a simple javascript
include instead?
Thanks,
/greg

You can call validateDate, etc anywhere in your form, provide that you loaded
then correctly.
Something like onblur="validateInteger()" will validate whether they are
integers:
I don't think they implemented validateDecimals yet, so Hex and Oct would be
considered as valid as well.
