I am using Adobe Livecycle ES2. My code is fine but all my validations are being displayed as a list in one single message box and that's not what I want. I want them to display after the user leave each field that's being validated. I tried solution like File>Form Properties> Form Validation but I don't have the Form validation option. I am wondering if I can get it to work by javascript coding.
You can add field-specific JavaScript code to the exit event for each field. If the user enters a value that doesn't pass the validation, you can then script something (a messagebox, an alert popup or some text) to appear as the user tries to leave the field.
You may want to use softer coded validation (which warns the user that the field isn't correctly completed but still allows them to move elsewhere in the form) in the exit event and use harder/stricter validation at the end of the form, for example, before the form is submitted) so that the user can't submit the form without completing the necessary fields but they can still progress with later fields even if the earlier fields aren't complete.

I am having some trouble with disabling Submit button in a HTML form in AngularJS.
Scenario:
I am selecting a certain process from a HTML Select Box ie. Drop
Down List
Once I select some entry from that, the lower portion is
automatically populated with the required form which again has a set
of inputs
Once you fill in these value, you can either Submit or Cancel the request
Condition:
There is a process in the list where I need to upload 1 or more files along with other input parameters. To do this, I am using a two step approach where I first Choose a File using a button and then I use another button to Upload the file. Clicking on this button makes a REST call and the file is sent to the required target.
I am using ng-file-upload directive from https://github.com/danialfarid/ng-file-upload to accomplish this.
Problem:
I was initially using ng-disabledto disable submit button on the condition that All mandatory input elements are filled and all input validations are passed. Now the problem occurs when I am in the use cases which need files to be uploaded. When I choose a file and upload it, HTML treats that element as empty as the file is already sent to its target and hence fails the validation All mandatory input elements are filled! If I remove this validation, my form expectedly get submitted even if Mandatory fields are empty.
So what can I do in this case to disable my submit button?
Create a boolean variable as what #ShashankVivek said.
if file uploaded $scope.uploaded = true.
so your button should look like this
<button data-ng-disabled="!form.valid && !uploaded">Submit</button>
Is there a way to add a Back button which reloads a form with the inputs filled in?
I have a form with some input fields and a save (submit) button. When clicking submit, if the mandatory fields aren't filled in, a new page opens with a message. If I use the browser's Back button, I receive this message:
Confirm Form Resubmission
This webpage requires data that you entered earlier in order to be
properly displayed. You can send this data again, but by doing so you
will repeat any action this page previously performed. Press the
reload button to resubmit the data needed to load the page.
ERR_CACHE_MISS
So basically, it asks me to Refresh, and then confirm by clicking OK on a pop up window, after which the form reloads but with empty fields.
I have tried thinking of everything, but I can't find a solution. Thanks.
If it's possible, I would change the structure so that the form posts back to itself, and runs the validation of the mandatory fields. Then, if everything's ok, it will continue whatever processing is necessary. If there's a problem, it can show the form again, but in your code you will have access to the values already submitted, so you can pre-populate the form with these values and then display it to the user. It's a pretty standard design technique for this sort of thing.
I am working on a multi part form that is composed of three views.
The user will have to fill the first part, click next, fill the second part, next again, the third part and finally submit the form.
However I would like to add validation to each part to ensure the user have filled all required fields before reaching the next part.
For simplicity and consistency with the rest of the website I would like to use the browser validation system, which is triggered at form submission by default.
Is there any way to use callback that detect invalid fields and highlight them when the form is submitted without a call to submit ?
I have a html form. After hitting the submit button, I want some kind of popup to appear where the user can enter what he has changed. And only after that has been done, ther form should be submitted to the web server.
It's for internal usage only, so design doesn't matter.
in spite of using submit button you just use <type="button" onclick="function1()">
in javascript section code:
function1(){
// here you can use a textbox or a prompt box to enter some value after which
// redirect to desired page using document.getElementById("myForm").submit();
}
I think this will solve your problem..
#user3077238, I can't comment yet, but Rupesh's answer will work.
You will want to call the original function that was in place when the user clicked submit within function1(){} after they provide input.
Now that function1(){} will be running before whatever code you had originally when the user clicked submit, you would just pass the input from the prompt to the original submit function.
I have a form that I'm validating with JavaScript before allowing the form to POST. The validations are done using the LiveValidation library, which I'm having defer doing the validations until the user attempts to submit the form. So, the Javascript is executing on the form's onsubmit event, returning false if the form is invalid to stop submission. The form also has multiple submit buttons to determine which action to take with the information on the server's side. The problem that I'm running into is that if the user clicks on one submit button, fails validation, and then successfully submits again, the first button clicked is also part of the POST, so the action taken on the server's side sometimes isn't the desired one. I thought that perhaps the problem was with the validation library, but now I'm starting to wonder if it isn't deeper. If a form's onsubmit returns false, does the set of POSTed variables get cleared or cached for the next submit?
Edit: OK, so this is an instance of the "I'm a dumbass" bug. I had added a hidden field with this name/value pair through JavaScript earlier, because of some funky business rules on the page. I just had to remove that, and it's all fine again.
Had to wait for some time to pass before it would let me answer my own question. Solution reproduced below:
