validation not working

my form is not validating, and the date field "show if" shows all the time. I went through the video AND the tutorial and did each step. Not going back to form page to show unfilled out parts, just goes to cart and has blanks where info should be.

http://bandofhonor.com/bracelets_aluminum.php
all fields except Inscription line 2 and 3 have validations attached...

send a copy of the page please so i can see the code.

the URL is included in the message above

http://bandofhonor.com/bracelets_aluminum.php

I need a copy of the actual page, I can't see the php code by looking at the URL. I need to see the validation code in order to have an idea why it is not running.

please attach a copy of the php page to your reply.

Sorry.
bracelets_aluminum.php attached

theres no validation server behavior on this page.

it looks like you applied the server validation behavior to the cartstatic page. the action of the add to cart form is to post to the bracelets_aluminum.php page, so the server validation server behavior needs to be applied to that page.

you will need to remove the validation show if behaviors, and recreate the server validation by adding it to the add to cart page, not the cart display page.

the tutorial had me 1) add the messages to the form page (bracelets), then 2) add the bindings to the action page (which I understood to be the cart page), then 3) add the server validations to that page (at least it didn't say to open the form page) and 4) show validations on failure behaviors to the form page. So you are saying step 3 should have happened on the form page (bracelets)? Or is it the bindings I did wrong? I did this while watching the tutorial video but it was very hard to hear, even at full volume. This was all very confusing as she was working on a form AFTER the cart page...

It has been a month since we bought eCart6 and started on this and the natives are getting restless!

In the tutorial you where looking at, it was a checkout page that had the action set to post to the confirm page.

rule number 1 when working with forms is:

All form Processing must happen on the action page.

in your case, the action of the form is not to post to another page, but instead it posts to itself, so the validation needs to be on the form page.

In post #6 you said:

"it looks like you applied the server validation behavior to the cartstatic page. the action of the add to cart form is to post to the bracelets_aluminum.php page, so the server validation server behavior needs to be applied to that page.

you will need to remove the validation show if behaviors, and recreate the server validation by adding it to the add to cart page, not the cart display page."


Is there any way to EDIT this or do I have to recreate everything: ie all 4 steps that I listed above? Not sure how far back I need to go. I know I applied bindings AND configured the validations to the cart page instead of the bracelets page, so possibly I need to redo (or edit if possible) both.

I started by just selecting the "validate if" blocks and deleting them, but I can see there is still a lot of PHP code in there on each form field and i can't tell if I need to delete all that too?

You will need to recreate it since the validation needs to be removed from the cart display page and recreated on the add to cart page.

you will also need to redo the form element bindings to the new validated entries bindings.
