intake interdependencies

[Alexander Banthien <ba...@justec.de>]

Hi,

I only just started getting into intake and read a bit in the mailings.
I might need a tool like intake soon. One question.

Does intake provide the means for checking wether forms were filled out
correctly with interdependant cells.
Example:
1: Do you own a car?   yes|no
2: Wich type? String

the second entry being mandatory, if the first has been checked to yes.

And allow me a newbie-question: is intake more or less ready to use?

Regards and thanks, Alexander

With John's help I managed to get intake working late last week. So I
can answer your questions with the full power of my three days of
experience ;-]

I am not aware of any rules that would cater for this but you might be 
able to do something programatically by manipulating the value of
a 'required' rule.

I have not actually seen a list of the rules that intake supports.  So far
I have only seen 'required', 'minLength', 'maxLength', 'minValue', 
'maxValue' and 'mask'.

You should note that intake is a server side technology, none of the
validation rules supported by intake are enforced until the user
submits the form to the server.

For server side validation it appears to work and I certainly intend
using it in the application I am currently developing.  A word of 
caution however, the documentation for intake is not up to date
and as a result it is a little cryptic.  If you are interested then I 
suggest you look at the mail archive for last week for the thread 
with the subject "intake problems".
