Hey Matt,
You are trying to reference the custom attribute in a way which it cannot
understand - for Mozilla you need to use element.getAttribute('type') where
'type' is your custom attribute, so in your example it would be :
element.getAttribute('Validate')

Subject: [ cf-dev ] OT : Custom form attribs + Netscape
�
Hi
I have written a sexy little javascript form validator
it relies on custom attribs within the form fields however
<input type="text" name="textbox" Validate="txt">
�
and based on the value of document.forms['theform'][x].Validate
�
a validation routine is run
�
�however Mozilla doesnt seem to be able to read the value of the custom
attrib
�
anyone know why?
�
here is my code
�
---------------------------
<script language="JavaScript">
�
�
�function loopval(formname) {
��// set up form variables
��var re = /^.+\@(\[?)[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.([a-zA-Z]{2,3}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$/;
��theForm = document.forms[''+formname+''];
��looplen = theForm.length;
��var�errorInd =0;
��var�errorMsg ='The following errors were found\n';�
�
���alert(looplen);
����//loop over length of form
���for(i=0 ; i<looplen ; i++) {
����alert(i);
����//setup looping vars
����switchObj = theForm[i].validate;
���� formVal = theForm[i].value;
���� fieldName = theForm[i].name;
�����// NETSCAPE CHECK alert(theForm[i].validate.value);
����//switch statement
����switch(switchObj) {
�����case 'txt' : if (!isNaN(formVal)) {
��������errorInd=1;
��������errorMsg =errorMsg + 'The field '+fieldName+' must contain
alphanumerics\n';
��
��������};
�����break;
�����case 'nmb' : if (isNaN(formVal)) {
��������errorInd=1;
��������errorMsg = errorMsg +'The field '+fieldName+' must contain only
numbers\n';
��
��������};
�����break;
�����case 'email' : if(!formVal.match(re)) {
���������errorInd=1;
���������errorMsg = errorMsg +'The field '+fieldName+' must contain a
syntactically valid Email address\n';
���������};
��������break;
����
����}�
���}
���if (errorInd ==1) {
����alert(errorMsg);��
����}
���else {theForm.submit(); }�
��}�
�
</script>
�
<form name="test" method="post" action="test.cfm">
�
�<input type="text" name="txtbox"� validate="txt">
�<input type="text" name="txtbox"�� validate="nmb">
�<input type="text" name="txtbox"�� validate="email">
�<input type="text" name="txtbox"�� validate="that">
�<input type="text" name="txtbox"�� validate="other">
�<input type="button" onclick="loopval('test');">
�
</form>
