I am using the bassistance jQuery plugin validation.
I have a drop down list with 2 values.
If the first value is selected by the user a valid date field needs to be populated and if the second option is selected then a textbox needs to be filled with some text.
If nothing is selected then it need to return a validation on this as well
How can I achieve this?
thanks
Well, if it is a dropdown, you can't really have "nothing" selected. So, it sounds like in your case, you might want to make three options, the first of which is something like "Choose one", you can then you the jQuery to test for this condition and throw an alert if that value isn't one of the two that trigger an action. You can then force them to go back and choose of the two other options.

i have a selectbox which have some options according to which other options are shown or hidden. for eg user select option A and it will show some fields using
simply
$(element).show();
function of jquery.
but the problem is that jquery validation plugin doesn't validates these fields even there are now visible.
I know that it doesn't validate hidden fields but these are visible now but it still not working
here is jquery i am using
$('#order_status_form').validate({ignore: ":not(:visible)"});
$('#order_status_dropbox').change(function(){
$(this).val()=="shipped"?$('.temp_hidden_field').show():$('.temp_hidden_field').hide();
});
Don't answer to this question . I will close this question by now. The problem was with another input element which was left unclosed and was causing problem.
If you ever encounter problem like this then check for this error also
The jQuery validation engine plugin has the ability to do ajax validation; which works gret except for one small catch...
It sends off the field ID instead of the field name to be validated.
Why is this an issue?
I have a simple item that to create it only requires one textbox to be filled out; so we have this as a modal on every page for managing said item.
We use the jQuery validation engine plugin to validate that the entered value is unique.
Now this also means that the modal shows up on the edit page. Which obviously has the title in a field as well for you to edit.
And we want this field to be validated as well but because the validation engine sends across the field ID instead of the field name we must give the two fields different ID's
e.g. createtitle and edittitle and then on the backend have
if($fieldId == 'createtitle' || $fieldId == 'edittitle'){$fieldId = $fieldId}
Which really is an ugly approach; is there any way to get it to use the name; or another attribute instead?
Maybe this plugin could help you. It uses class names of your element to validate.
I have a input text box to take in an amount of money. I would like two things.
First, validate to not allow things like this
1,23.00
1,123.45.67
But these would be OK:
123456.00
123,456.00
123,456
Secondly, if 123456 is entered, I would like it to change to 123,456.00 once the user clicks out of the box.
The second part is what I'm unsure about, if there is something that did both though, that would be great.
1) Google for some nice plugin, you will find many validation scripts on the web.
2) You can use the blur or change event for that. Add an event listener for them, which sets the appropriate format to the input value.
Am I under the wrong impression that jquery or JS can retrieve the values of radio buttons in a form? The reason i ask is because in my code the script i use to check for all fields in a form, does not seem to recognise the value in id="contact2" in the form, which is a radio group. I have posted my code at jsfiddle.net and would appreciate some feedback as to how I can correct this. Many thanks

You need to do it like this:
$('input:radio[name=bar]:checked').val();
Because of how radio buttons are checked/unchecked and their values are stored. (from the jQuery docs). You also need to make sure that the radio buttons have different IDs, which is a classic gotcha.
Finally, when testing if a radio button has not been selected at all, make sure to test against undefined and not an empty string for compatibility across browsers.
EDIT: looked at your code, and you need to do two things:
1. Change IDs of the buttons, to something like "contact2a" and "contact2b" so they are unique.
2. Change your var customer2 = line to var contact2=$("input[name=contact2]:checked").val();
Change this line:
var contact2=$("#contact2").val();
to:
var contact2=$('input[name="contact2"]:checked').val();
You need the checked because otherwise it finds both inputs.
Also, technically, all IDs should be unique, ie, not used on 2 elements on the page.
You should be able to use .val()
See this: http://api.jquery.com/val/
Both of your radio buttons have the same ID. That doesn't work in HTML. You'll have to refer to the buttons separately and select the one that is checked.
You can simply call
$("[name=contact2]:checked").val()
I'm currently working on a Lotus Notes solution. We're just using Web forms so client side operations are done via Javascript.
What I want to accomplish is to reset a Group of Radio Buttons. There are 3 possibilities and I want to choose none. (A 'none of them' possibility would be preferable, I know but we are required to reset them)
I currently use:
//Unchecks a single group of Radio Buttons
//groupname - the name attribute of the group which selection needs to be unchecked
function clearRadioButtonGroup(groupName) {
for(i=0;i<document.forms[0].elements[groupName].length;i++) {
document.forms[0].elements[groupName][i].checked = false;
}
}
The problem with this routine is, the Radiogroup gets reset, but on a form submit the old value gets submitted. Any suggestions?
What version of Domino are you using? Since 7.x (I think) a %%Surrogate field gets generated as a hidden field in your HTML that you'll be able to reset, so after deselecting all of the radio button options, you can then clear out the %%Surrogate field and you should then avoid having to select a "None of the above" option.

The problem is that clearing the radio buttons make no information about them appear in the submitted form data, and Domino seems to interpret that as no change to the field rather than clear the field.
I haven't found any solution to this I really like, but I can think of two options:
Change the radio buttons to include a no choice option.
The alternative is a bit clumpsy:
Add an editable field to the form to use as a flag, hide it from the web browser with css.
Have clearRadioButtonGroup also set the flag field to something.
Have the onChange event of the radio buttons clear the flag field.
In a WebQueryOpen agent, set the radio buttons field to empty if the flag field is non-empty.
Another alternative could be to uses some clever javascript/css trick to hide the no choice option and have clearRadioButtonGroup simply set that choice.
Are you certain that the old value is actually being submitted? Perhaps it just isn't being updated (erased) in the NotesDocument you're editing? Just a hunch...
BTW, you can download a program called Fiddler that will let you inspect the HTTP POSTs, and you can confirm that the POST data doesn't contain any values for that radio button group. That might help narrow down the problem.
Put the following pass thru HTML code on your form:
<input type="hidden" name="FieldName" id="FieldID" value="">
(FieldName and FieldID are the name and id of your radio field on the form)
When you reset your radio through Javascript and submit your document, the field will be reset to blank.
