Hi, all...
Here's the function: (Thanks, Dan...)
<script type="text/javascript">
function superCoolValidator(value,element,params) {
if(isNaN(parseInt(value.replace(/[\$\,\.]/,"")))){
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}
</script>
Here's the addMethod line:
$.validator.addMethod("superCoolValidator", superCoolValidator,
"Your input is not super cool!");
And here's the INPUT:
<INPUT id="Principal"
Test="superCoolValidator:true"
Name="Principal"
Type="Text"
Value="#Ceiling(Trim(Get_Property_Details.Sale_Price))#"
Size="14"
Class="TextInput01">
I get no errors from Firebug, but the "superCoolValidator" (Dan's name :o)
doesn't
seem to have any effect on the input. The form gets submitted by this
input:
<INPUT ID="Calculate" Value=" Calculate " Type="Submit">
and the submission is caught by the submitHandler in this Validator
function:
$().ready(function() {
// validate Mortgage_Calculation_Form form fields on keyup
$("#MC_Form").validate({
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
//if(element.attr('id') == "Principal") {
//error.appendTo("#principal_error");
//}
//else
if(element.attr('id') == "Interest") {
error.appendTo("#interest_error");
}
else
if(element.attr('id') == "Years") {
error.appendTo("#years_error");
}
},//closes errorPlacement function
focusInvalid: "false",
event: "blur",
rules: {
//Principal: {required: true,
//digits: true},
Interest: {required: true,
number: true},
Years: {required: true,
number: true}
},
messages: {
//Principal: {required: "Please enter the Principal.",
//number: "Please enter a number. Format: 255000
(No $ or , )"},
Interest: {required: "Please enter the Interest Rate.",
number: "Please enter a number."},
Years: {required: "Please enter the Years.",
number: "Please enter a number."}
},
submitHandler: function(){
CalculateMortgage();
}
})
});
One last bit... the "CalculateMortgage" function that is called by the
submitHandler is this:
function CalculateMortgage(){
var Params = {};
$("input:text").each(function(){
Params[$(this).attr("name")] = $(this).val();
});
$.post("Mortgage_Calculation.cfm", Params, function(data){
$("#Result").empty().append(data);
}
);
}
Can anyone make some sense of what's going on and what I need to do to get
the
"superCoolValidator" to have an effect on the "Principal" input?
Thanks!
Rick
