R: validator generated HTML code

[daniele rizzi]

Hi,
you're not the only one studying this stuff! As far as I may know
(after 3 days & nigths of hard work) the answers are:

---q1
--Can I get rid of the other functions?

No, they're loaded in bundle, but you can always get into
the validator-rule.xml and remove what you don't like

---q2
--i notice that i get a lot of \n characters in between the lines...

oh, open the file with textpad and substitute any \n\n with \n

(maybe the writer worked on a pc, then sent the code to a unix box,
so every \n became a \n\n)

like it?
bye, daniele rizzi

Oggetto: validator generated HTML code



Hi All,

i have been checking the validator framework and i have some issues for yuo.
First a, probably silly, question. I place in my JSP:
        onsubmit="return validateLoginForm(this);"
in the <html:form> and
        <html:javascript formName="LoginForm"/>.

The result is that I am getting all the javascript functions present in my
validator-rules.xml file in the generated HTML, i.e:

function validateShort(form)
function validateMask(form)
function validateCreditCard(form)
function validateEmail(form)
function validateMaxLength(form)
function validateDate(form)
function validateFloat(form)
function validateRange(form)
function validateMinLength(form)
function validateRequired(form)
function validateInteger(form)
function validateByte(form)

I suppose, I should only get the necessary functions for my validation, in
my case function validateRequired(form). What am I doing wrong or missing?
Can I get rid of the other functions?

Secondly, i notice that i get a lot of \n characters in between the lines of
the generated functions, i.e.:

function validateRequired(form) {

                var bValid = true;

                var focusField = null;

                var i = 0;

                var fields = new Array();

                oRequired = new required();



                for (x in oRequired) {

                    if ((form[oRequired[x][0]].type == 'text' ||
form[oRequired[x][0]].type == 'textarea' || form[oRequired[x][0]].type ==
'select-one' || form[oRequired[x][0]].type == 'radio' ||
form[oRequired[x][0]].type == 'password') && form[oRequired[x][0]].value ==
'') {

                       if (i == 0)

                          focusField = form[oRequired[x][0]];



                       fields[i++] = oRequired[x][1];



                       bValid = false;

                    }

                }



                if (fields.length > 0) {

                   focusField.focus();

                   alert(fields.join('\n'));

                }



                return bValid;

            }

Could this code generation be optimized in order to get javascript functions
with same format that in the validator-rules.xml?


Adolfo.
