Pushing the limit, eh:). How hard is it to write your own two line JavaScript. Besides, since it's a select box(not a combo), all the options are assumed to be valid from the beginning, why there is an invalid option there:).

I looked in the javascript code (I am new to that still) but I saw that it only checks for the range if the field is a text or textarea. Is this true? How can I perform the client validation for selection boxes? Change the javascript? Erez -----Original Message----- From: David G.

After <arg0 .../> add something like: <msg name="intRange" key="month.invalid"/> Then just add an application resource line such as: month.too.short=Please select a valid month. Or month.too.short=Please select a valid {0} to show the field name you put as arg0 in your validations xml configuration file.

What happens with html:radio? Is this also the way also to validate radio options? If no radio is selected (and I know this is off topic, well a bit) would the browser send a value?

It's in the Validator User Guide: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html Here's an example from that page so you can set your min & max as 1 & 12 to prevent the zero (label "month"?) from being submitted: <field property="integer" depends="required,integer,intRange"> <arg0 key="typeForm.integer.displayname"/> <arg1 name="range" key="${var:min}" resource="false"/> <arg2 name="range" key="${var:max}" resource="false"/> <var> <var-name>min</var-name> <var-value>10</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>max</var-name> <var-value>20</var-value> </var> </field> -------Original Message------- From: Erez Efrati <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 08/06/03 02:41 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: validating a html:select box > > I have a selection box with options where the first is valued 0 (=not selected) with some label saying: "month". How can I use the Struts validator to validate the user has actually chosen a value other than 0? Do I have to write one of my own? I wish the validwhen was around... By the way the 'birthMonth' is an int (not a string). Here is a snip of my page: <html:select property="birthMonth"> <html:option value="-1"> <bean:message key="date.month"/> </html:option> <c:forEach begin="1" end="12" var="m"> <html-el:option value='${m}'> <c:out value='${m}' /> </html-el:option> </c:forEach> </html:select> Thanks a lot, Erez --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
