CForms Javascript Validation
Hello,
I'm using Cocoon 2.1.8 and attempting to develop a few CForms. I've been working on validating the forms and for some widgets I'm attempting to use Javascript but it doesn't seem to be working. I looked at the sample files and could only find Javascript validation for the whole form. Is it possible to do something like:
<fd:field id="foo" >
<fd:label>Foo:</fd:label>
<fd:datatype base="string"/>
<fd:validation>
<javascript>
return false;
<javascript>
</fd:validation>
<fd:on-value-changed>
<javascript>
this.validate();
</javascript>
</fd:on-value-changed>
</fd:field>
obviously the validation would normally be more complex but I figured this is the easiest to get to work.
Also does it matter if you use the namespace <fd:javascript /> or should javascript always be in the xmlns="" namespace?
Thanks (and sorry to keep throwing so many CForms questions),
Gary

Like this...
<fd:field id="foo" >
<fd:label>Foo:</fd:label>
<fd:datatype base="string"/>
<fd:validation>
<fd:javascript>
return yourValidationMethod(widget);
<fd:javascript>
</fd:validation>
</fd:field>
The JS you use for validation must return true/false depending on the
validation success. There are samples of custom validation with JS in
the cocoon distribution...

Use <fd:javascript>...</fd:javascript>
