Hi,
Iam trying to validate a simple form which has a name, password & email
field. I have validated that name field(html:text) should contain only
characters, password field(html:text) contains only numbers & email
field(html:text) should contain proper email id.
When i enter only numbers in name field, only characters in password
field & an invalid email id then only alert msg "please enter only
characters" is coming for name field & msg "pls enter only numbers for
password field' *BUT* no msg is coming for email field even though i have
entered a wrong email id. Also those two msgs are coming simultaneously but
i want like this, i mean to say when i click on submit button first only msg
for name field should show. Then again if i click submit button then msg for
password field should show & so on.
Also suppose if i enter the proper name (only characs) , proper password
(only numbers) & if i enter the invalid email id then it will show the msg"
please enter a valid email address".
I also like to have the name field should be validate for
"require","mask", "minlength" & "maxlength" & then only it should validate
the password field.
Iam sending the following code for reference :
Validation.xml

<!-- compose form Validation-->
<form name="InfoForm">
