You're absolutely right! Adding the elements you show below did the trick. It never occurred to me to revisit my validation.xml file since server-side validation was working fine.
Thanks very, very much!

Actually,
I just tried it out and it has to be the datePatternStrict version for Struts 1.1
<var> <var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name> <var-value>dd/MM/yyyy</var-value> </var>
The javascript functions have moved to commons and appear to now cater for
the datePattern variable - so probably from Struts 1.2 you could choose
which version.
(The difference between datePattern and datePatternStrict is that the data
input has to match the length of the format in the strict version. So if for
example 1/1/2004 would be invalid in strict version with a pattern of
dd/MM/yyyy - the user would have to key in 01/01/2004 for the date to be
valid.

James,
In your validation configuration file you have not set the date pattern
variable - there are two forms of it - datePattern and datePatternStrict.
<formset>
<form name="ActivityViewForm"> <field property="starting" depends="date"> <arg0 key="ActivityViewForm.starting.displayname"/> <var> <var-name>datePattern</var-name> <var-value>dd/MM/yyyy</var-value> </var> </field> <field property="ending" depends="date"> <arg0 key="ActivityViewForm.ending.displayname"/> <var> <var-name>datePattern</var-name> <var-value>dd/MM/yyyy</var-value> </var> </field> </form>
</formset>
Try that.
Niall

Yes and yes.

So, did you find the validateDate function, and was it called?

Struts 1.1

Try to put some alerts in the validateDate javascript function in the validator-rules.xml file and see if the function is called. BTW, what version of Struts you are using?

To test the possibility of it being a problem with using html:image
instead of html:submit, I replaced html:image by html:submit but got the
same result, i.e., the client-side validation is not being invoked.

Everything looks OK to me.
Have you checked what javascript is being generated - use "view source"
in your browser when you are looking at the page. is there a
validateActivityViewForm() method and is that method doing the
validations you expect?
A second thought is how are you submitting your page - I had problems
when I was using javascript with a link tag. If your doing that, then
try putting an ordinary submit button on the page and see if that works.
<html:submit>Save</html:submit>

Server-side validation is working fine, but I can't seem to get client-side working.
I know I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what it
is :-(
Here's a bit of the tile that uses validation:
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean" %> <%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %> <%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-logic" prefix="logic" %>
<html:form action="/SelectActivity" onsubmit="return validateActivityViewForm(this)"> <TABLE border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"> ... <html:text property="starting" value="" size="10"/> ... <html:text property="ending" value="" size="10"/> ... <logic:messagesPresent> <html:messages id="error"> <TR><TD><FONT color="red"><STRONG><bean:write name="error"/></STRONG></FONT><TD><TR> </html:messages> </logic:messagesPresent> </TABLE> </html:form> <html:javascript formName="ActivityViewForm"/>
Here's the piece of validation.xml:
<formset>
<form name="ActivityViewForm"> <field property="starting" depends="date"> <arg0 key="ActivityViewForm.starting.displayname"/> </field> <field property="ending" depends="date"> <arg0 key="ActivityViewForm.ending.displayname"/> </field> </form>
</formset>
Here's the Action entry from struts-config:
<action path="/SelectActivity" name="ActivityViewForm" type="portfolio.SelectActivityAction" input=".activity.detail"/>
ActivityViewForm extends PortfolioForm which is declared thusly:
public class PortfolioForm extends ValidatorForm implements Serializable
{
As I said, server-side validation is working fine, but the javascript on
the client-side isn't getting activated.
I hope someone can help me to resolve this quickly!
Thanks very much,
jim
