Spry Panel Validation

10/20/2011 8:27 am | #1 dcb286193

I am trying to create a form in-which the user checks a check box a spry panel expands and they continue filling in the form. I can do this but once the form is submitted, since I have the spry panel set as close by default, the panel is closed on page reload even though their are validation issues. What I would like to have happen is if their are any validation issues on the panel the panel remains open on submit.

I have gone through the posts and have picked up on some tips with validation so when the check box is checked it validates only the parts of the form associated with that check box. But keeping the panel open upon submit I have not run across.

Your help would be appreciated.

The spry panel code will have a variable to set the onload status of the panel, you would need to create an if statement to check the value of the checkbox to set it to open based on the checkbox value.

see the following page for more details on the tabbed panel:

I understand now how to programatically open and close the panel, thank you.

I am still having an issue with the form though. The check box does not hold the post value if their is an error. Also the boxes start out checked and I can not get them to start unchecked. I did not modify anything on the form and is built straight from CSS form builder. So, I do not understand what I am doing wrong. I have attached the file for you to look at
