Hi!
About Q2 is possible a verification at client side (before hitting the
submit button)
using JavaScript. A solution would be to send with the page information
about fields.
Something like this
<script lang....>
var minvalues=new array[10];
var maxvalues=new array[10];
minvalues[0]=12;
minvalues[1]=5;
...
minvalues[0]=50;
minvalues[1]=14;
...
function verify(i){
if(i==0) {
if( eval(document.forms[0].field1.value)<minvalues[0]
|| document.forms[0].field1.value>maxvalues[0] ){
alert("Wrong value");
document.forms[0].field1.value=minvalue[0];
}
}
if(i==1){
...
}
}
</script>
....
...
<input type="text" name="field1" onChange()="verify(0)">
.....
<input type="text" name="field2" onChange()="verify(1)">
.....
....
This example is to give You an idea, it is not a working one.
I think verification at client side it is possible only with JavaScript (and
Applets).
But You should be careful because JavaScript can be disabled in browsers and
than will NOT work.
Best wishes,
Andras
