masking in dynavalidation
Hi, I have some issues using dynavalidations. 1. In masking we give a list of character we want to allow. But is there a way to give the list of characters that I don't want to allow, because are exceptions are less. E.g. : I want the user to not to enter single and double quotes in the text area, but allow all other characters. 2. How do I allow the user to press enter key for a text area. I ve been trying to do this through validation, but could not achieve the desired. Any help on the above topics will be appreciated. Thanks in advance Shivani
RE: Narrow down on an element in a select list with every key press
Thanks so much Raghu for such a quick reply. Actually I am using a list and not a textbox and I do not want a suggest list but just want to narrow down on the content of a populated drop down list. I'll explain... if I have a standard drop down list for country names and the list includes ..., "Iceland", "India", ..., "Namibia"... Now, if you press "I" at the drop down list you'll be taken to the first element that starts with "I", which is Iceland. But, if you press "In", you'll not be taken to the first element that starts with "In", which is India, but to the first element that starts with "N", which is Namibia. This is the standard way a drop down list will. The feature that I want is like recursive sort or narrowing down on the elements of the list. (If you want to try what I am talking about, just try creating an account/user on any website and in the country drop down list try choosing India. You may try hotmail. ) Thanks for your suggestion.

The best thing is that you do not need to write a single line of Javascript. Everything is encapsulated into this Tag. The example listed is very close to what you want. When you write your "callback" Class (in the above example - CountrySuggestAction) you can decide the "list" that "qualifies" with your keypress. Also I strongly recommend this set of tags to anyone who wants to have some "rich" functionality and do not want to move to JSF. The tabs functionality, interdependent combos, treeviews, sorting, paging etc are very useful and easy to use. Besides as I understand from their site this is mature for more than 5 years. I have been using their tags and they ROCK ! :-) HTH, Raghu On 1/30/06, Shivani Sawhney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > > > Is it possible, through Struts or JavaScript, to narrow down on an > element in a select list with every key press? > > I have a sorted select list for country names.

Narrow down on an element in a select list with every key press
Hi, Is it possible, through Struts or JavaScript, to narrow down on an element in a select list with every key press? I have a sorted select list for country names. If I have entries for "Iceland" and "India" in the pick list, then pressing "I" would take me to "Iceland" but pressing "In" will take me to element starting with "N" and not to "India". Is there any way that I can narrow down on an element in a select list with every key press? This functionality can well be achieved in applications but can this be achieved in web based solutions. I don't mind using JavaScript too. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Shivani ** NetEdge Computing Global Services Private Limited.

RE: Upload all files of a dir at one go
Hi Dave, Thanks for the reply. When I said "upload all the files of a directory at one go", I didn't really mean that upload the directory as is. May be a smarter reply would be that yes, we actually can upload all files of a directory at one go, given that we zip the directory and upload the zipped file on the server and then unzip it through code and extract the files and use them. Thanks to you and the words you chose, it somehow just sparked me to just get the code ready just immediately. And tell me something, probably I am just thinking aloud and am even wrong, but if I can do it through code then can't we just have a custom tag that zips the chosen directory at client side, uploads the zipped file on to the server and provides the programmer with appropriate methods to use the entries in the zipped file more conveniently. Really sorry if you find my reply rude at all. I actually respect you for all the knowledge you have. But.Imagination is stronger than knowledge.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. There's absolutely no reason that initializing field values in setup action won't work for me.

Good Morning Shivani/Raghu
Assuming the date for the QueryString is a valid date
following the tutorial for date-validation with struts validator at
http://www.roseindia.net/strutstutorial/usingstrutsvalidatorframewor.sht
ml
in your "form" capture the date information in a html:text tag e.g.
DATE:
we have a string which needs to be transformed and validated to
well-formed
date
we can use field level datePattern validation of "MM/dd/" to
validate
the form value before attempting a populate e.g.
datePattern
MM/dd/
Anyone else?

RE: Preserving the query string while validating a form & using dynamic initialization with DynaAction
Thanks Raghu for such a quick reply. I too considered the two options that you've suggested. Option (a) does not work and I was avoiding storing info in session scope. I'll try & explain the problem with option (a). The action which forwards to the JSP is a named SetupEditJobProfileAction. This action takes the value from the query string and stores the value in a hidden form field. The action that this JSP submits to is able to get this value from the form. But when there is a validation error, the set up action is not able to get the same value through the form. My only guess is that when there is an input error the form doesn't really get submitted. But I am still not sure if that's the case. Are you aware of any parameter of the action tag which could state if post validation the form is to be submitted or not?

Could someone please suggest how to keep the query string (request parameters) intact even when validation errors are caught and displayed on the JSP? Query 2: Can I use user defined classes while initializing form fields using Dyna Action? E.g., Can I write something like, Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, Shivani
