How to persist a field's value on form

Hi,

When an invalid input field is entered on a validated form, the form is clearing the input values on all of the other fields. I only want the invalid field to be cleared. Is this part of a configuration option that I missed when setting up the form. If so, how can I turn that on. Second, if it's not a configuration option, do I need to add the functionality outside of Form Builder. If so, how is that done.

Thanks
Bruce

on the bindings panel, there is a binding collection titled Validated Entries.

for each form element, bind the initial value to the corresponding validated entries binding.

Hi. Does this guide also apply on the previous versions?

Yes, this applies to previous version of server validation.

Thanks for the support.

I was able to get contact-us.php to work, but I'm unable to get buy-now.php to work. The fields clear out.

Code from contact-us.php

<div class="fieldGroup"> <span id="Full_Name_Spry"> <span>
<input name="Full_Name" type="text" class="formTextfield_Large" id="Full_Name" tabindex="1" onblur="hideServerError('Full_Name_ServerError');" value="<?php echo((isset($_POST["Full_Name"]))?$_POST["Full_Name"]:"") ?>" aria-controls="<?php echo((isset($_POST["Full_Name"]))?$_POST["Full_Name"]:"") ?>"/>
<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">Please enter your name</span> </span> </span>




<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var Full_Name_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Full_Name_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var Email_Address_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Email_Address_Spry", "email",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var subject_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("subject_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var Comments_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextarea("Comments_Spry", { minChars:10, maxChars:1000 , validateOn:["blur"]});
var Security_Code_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Security_Code_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var Security_Answer_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Security_Answer_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});
//-->
</script


Code from buy-now.php

1)
<div class="fieldGroup"> <span id="Fname_Spry"> <span>
<input name="Fname" type="text" class="formTextfield_Medium" id="Fname" tabindex="1" onblur="hideServerError('Fname_ServerError');" value="<?php echo((isset($_POST["Fname"]))?$_POST["Fname"]:"") ?>"/>
<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">Please enter your first name</span> </span> </span>

2)
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var Fname_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Fname_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var Lname_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Lname_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var Address_1_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Address_1_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var City_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("City_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var State_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationSelect("State_Spry",{validateOn:["change"]});
var ZipCode_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("ZipCode_Spry", "none", { minChars:5, maxChars:11 , validateOn:["blur"]});
var Phone_Number_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Phone_Number_Spry", "phone_number", { format:'phone_us' , validateOn:["blur"]});
var Email_Address_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Email_Address_Spry", "email",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var Co-App_Email_Address_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Co-App_Email_Address_Spry", "email", { isRequired:false , validateOn:["blur"]});
var Co_App_Phone_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Co_App_Phone_Spry", "phone_number", { format:'phone_us', isRequired:false , validateOn:["blur"]});
//-->
</script>

Here is what I did:
1) In dreamweaver, I open the web page in design view
2) I then clicked on the bindings icon
3) I selected the specific form source from the list of sources
4) I dragged each binding field source to the corresponding form field in the web page

I'm not sure what's the issue. Can you please help.

Thanks
Bruce

your using the form collection bindings, you need to use the Validated Entries collection bindings instead.

Ok, thanks! Where do I find that. I don't see that when I click on the binding tab. I only see session , my form (which I was using), server variables

Thanks
Bruce

are you not using server validation?

you would only see the validated entries collection if you where using server validation.

perhaps i don't understand what you are trying to do.

can you give more details please.

Hi,

I thought I had server side validation. Please see the attachment screenshot.

I'm trying to prevent the other fields from clearing out when a validation event is fired and field's value needs to be reentered or entered into a field.
