cannot EDIT validation without causing error

cannot EDIT validation without causing error

So I have some validation on a page. specifically the checkout page in ecart.

so its working fine.
but i have 1 field that is a select menu and I want to add that as a required item.

when i go to the validation tool to edit, I get 2 kinds of errors.
1. if i go to edit and dont add any new validation, then when i hit finish - it rewrites the code except refers to every validation rule to one field. (it changes them all to the email field).

i also tried editing and adding the new field to the validation and i get the same error. I just tested it without adding new validation to see if it was the new rule or not.



2. I created a test page with a select field on it and added validation. worked fine. so i copied that code over to my current working checkout page (current unedited validation works). adding the 1 line of code caused the form to not validate at all. and I did put it in the correct place. Unless there is a sequences where selects has to go for validation.


ANY HELP!? DO YOU SEE MY ERROR? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!

HERES THE LINE I ADDED (just before the alert errors code)
WAValidateRQ(document.forms[0].order_hear,'- Agree to terms is required',document.forms[0].order_hear,0,true,'select');


HERES THE CURRENT VALIDATION CODE FROM THE ON SUBMIT
onsubmit="WAValidateCC(document.forms[0].cc_number,document.forms[0].cc_number.value,'- Invalid credit card number','','4:51:52:53:54:55:34:37:',document.forms[0].cc_number,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].cc_number,document.forms[0].cc_number.value,'- Invalid number of characters in Card Number',12,20,'',document.forms[0].cc_number,0,true);WAValidateNM(document.forms[0].cvv,'- Invalid Security Code.',0,9999,0,'','',',.',document.forms[0].cvv,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].cvv,document.forms[0].cvv.value,'- Invalid number of characters in Security Code',3,4,'',document.forms[0].cvv,0,true);WAValidateEM(document.forms[0].email,document.forms[0].email.value,'- Invalid Email Address',document.forms[0].email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].firstname,document.forms[0].firstname.value,'- Invalid First name',2,50,'',document.forms[0].firstname,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].lastname,document.forms[0].lastname.value,'- Invalid Last name',2,50,'',document.forms[0].lastname,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].phone,document.forms[0].phone.value,'- Invalid Phone Number',2,50,'',document.forms[0].phone,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].street1,document.forms[0].street1.value,'- Invalid Street Address',2,100,'',document.forms[0].street1,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].city,document.forms[0].city.value,'- Invalid City',2,100,'',document.forms[0].city,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].postcode,document.forms[0].postcode.value,'- Invalid Zip/Postal Code',2,20,'',document.forms[0].postcode,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].shipping_firstname,document.forms[0].shipping_firstname.value,'- Invalid Shipping Information, First name',2,100,'',document.forms[0].shipping_firstname,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].shipping_lastname,document.forms[0].shipping_lastname.value,'- Invalid Shipping Information, Last name',2,100,'',document.forms[0].shipping_lastname,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].shipping_phone,document.forms[0].shipping_phone.value,'- Invalid Shipping Information, Phone',2,100,'',document.forms[0].shipping_phone,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].shipping_street1,document.forms[0].shipping_street1.value,'- Invalid Shipping Information, Street Address',2,100,'',document.forms[0].shipping_street1,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].shipping_city,document.forms[0].shipping_city.value,'- Invalid Shipping Information, City',2,100,'',document.forms[0].shipping_city,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.forms[0].shipping_postcode,document.forms[0].shipping_postcode.value,'- Invalid Shipping Information, Zip/Postal Code',2,20,'',document.forms[0].shipping_postcode,0,true);WAValidateRQ(document.forms[0].order_terms,'- Agree to terms is required',document.forms[0].order_terms,0,true,'checkbox');WAAlertErrors('The following errors were found:','',true,false,false);return document.MM_returnValue"

Could you please send me your check out page to do some more testing so i can see what is causing the issue. It seems that you should be able to add validation to any new fields even if you have already applied validation.

Dani

There is a 2nd thing I would like to do (if we can solve the first!)
I have another field call order_hearp that i would like required, IF AND ONLY IF the selection made on order_hear = "Photographer".

If you know how I can accomplish this I would appreciate the help.

I did a test with your page and i was add validation to the select list with no issue. here is the steps i took:

1. Click on the <Form tag in code view our select the select list in design view.
2. open the Behaviors Panel (Window -> Behaviors) and click the + button
3. i selected WA Validation Toolkit -> Apply Client Validations -> Required...
4. select the field you want to validate and click ok

You from should be updated with the new validation added. (i have attached an update file).

for your second question, it looks like you would want to use Conditional Validation. You can get to that from the Behaviors panel -> WA Validation Toolkit -> Conditional Validation.

Well I tried your instructions EXACTLY. I still get the issue where it overrides every validation to the EMAIL. This is what i get in the form tag when I add it
see how it says ('ecart_checkout_form').email for every validation rule?

<form action="cart_confirm.php" method="post" name="ecart_checkout_form" id="ecart_checkout_form" onsubmit="WAValidateCC(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid credit card number','','4:51:52:53:54:55:34:37:',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid number of characters in Card Number',12,20,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateNM(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,'- Invalid Security Code.',0,9999,0,'','',',.',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid number of characters in Security Code',3,4,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEM(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid Email Address',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid First name',2,50,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid Last name',2,50,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid Phone Number',2,50,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid Street Address',2,100,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid City',2,100,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid Zip/Postal Code',2,20,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid Shipping Information, First name',2,100,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid Shipping Information, Last name',2,100,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid Shipping Information, Phone',2,100,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid Shipping Information, Street Address',2,100,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid Shipping Information, City',2,100,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateEL(document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email.value,'- Invalid Shipping Information, Zip/Postal Code',2,20,'',document.getElementById('ecart_checkout_form').email,0,true);WAValidateRQ(document.ecart_checkout_form.email,'- Agree to terms is required',document.ecart_checkout_form.email,0,true,'text');WAValidateRQ(document.ecart_checkout_form.order_hear,'- How did you find us is required',document.ecart_checkout_form.order_hear,0,true,'select');WAValidateRQ(document.ecart_checkout_form.order_hear,'- How did you find us is required',document.ecart_checkout_form.order_hear,0,false,'select')">

OK - I downloaded and updated the latest version of validation toolkit.
So now - I dont get the error when edit/adding validation.

HOWEVER

I still get the error on the page itself - the same as I described when I was handcoding the additional validation. The additional validation line renders the entire validation to be ignored. the user can press the submit button with no validation at all being done.

any ideas?
