[Widget] Problem validating the length of a string field

[Hank Heidt <hh...@dsbox.com>]

Hi,

I am a Cocoon Forms newbie and I am having problems validating the
length of a widget in a repeater.  

When the entered length of the field is zero (i.e., nothing is entered
or I enter some characters and then press backspace) it passes
validation even though I have specified the length to be a minimum of at
least one character. Any ideas how to fix this?

Here is the widget definition that I am using:

<fd:field id="description">
	<fd:label>Description</fd:label>
	<fd:datatype base="string"/>
	<fd:validation>
		<fd:length min="1" max="256">
			<fd:failmessage>The description must be between
1 and 256 characters long.</fd:failmessage>
		</fd:length>
	</fd:validation>
	<fd:hint>Enter a description for the report.</fd:hint>
</fd:field>


Thanks for any help!

-Hank

  Hi Hank.

  The problem is what the field is not required, so if the field is
  empty the validation is not fire.

  Cheers.
