Form builder 2 Client Validation

I have a form which is working and has server validation.

I wanted to use Client validation on the Phone fields to get the reformatting.

I went through the client validation wizard and the formatting works but it doesn't prevent the page from posting if a phone value is wrong.

Is there another step required to prevent the submit of the page, and the display of errors?

Also is it OK to have server side validations too, or do they have to be deleted? I did try to delete them but it still did not fix the problem.

send a link to your form page please.

Go to signin.php

Sign in as test with password test

Then click the where to Go button and select Update Profile

The page you get to is users_Profile.php

This version still has the server side validations so with a wrong value it will come back with the server side error.

you should be using both server side and client side validation on the form, the client side validation will reformat the phone number, the server validation will make sure a proper phone number is entered.

this seams to be the way your page is working at the moment, I'm not sure I understand what the issue is.

I was expecting client side to prevent the page from submitting like a Spry validation would.

The documentation indicates that messages will be placed near the submit button indicating an error, and near the field which has the error.

The question then is, other than reformatting of the phone field, what does the Client side really do?

client side validation will show the error message in a javascript alert box.

since client side validation relies on java script, it i=will not function correctly if there are other javascript errors on the apge.

It looks like the line to define the progress bar on this page is missing, which is causing client validation to fail.

add the following code to the page in the head area:

<script src="webassist/progress_bar/jquery-blockui-formprocessing.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

That made the progress bar show, but there was no change to the page being submitted.

It does what I want, which was to format the phone numbers.

I was just curious why it didn't the submit was happening.

I found out why that progress bar line was missing.

In order to apply the progress bar to a page with a template, it has to be made editable with an outside editor. Then the line in question gets placed at the beginning of the head.

If the template is ever updated, the line gets removed.
