Form Validation clashes with Google Search

hi there

If I try and do a Client Validation on a page that has a Google Search form at the top, it just clashes and inserts loads of odd code and breaks the page:

function WAFV_GetValueFromInputType(formElement,inputType,trimWhite) {
var value="";
if (inputType == "select") {
if (formElement.selectedIndex != -1 && formElement.options[formElement.selectedIndex].value && formElement.options[formElement.selectedIndex].value != "") {
value = formElement.options[formElement.selectedIndex].value;
}
}
else if (inputType == "checkbox") {
if (formElement.length) {
for (var x=0; x<MM:BeginLock translatorClass="wagt_search" type="wagt_search" orig="%3CformElement.length%20;%20x++)%20%20{
%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20if%20(formElement[x].checked%20&&%20formElement[x].value!=%22%22)%20%20{
%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20value%20=%20formElement[x].value;
%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20break;
%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20}
%20%20%20%20%20%20}
%20%20%20%20}
%20%20%20%20else%20if%20(formElement.checked)
%20%20%20%20%20%20value%20=%20formElement.value;
%20%20}
%20%20else%20if%20(inputType%20==%20%22radio%22)%20%20{
%20%20%20%20if%20(formElement.length)%20%20{
%20%20%20%20%20%20for%20(var%20x=0;%20x%3CformElement.length;%20x++)%20%20{
%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20if%20(formElement[x].checked%20&&%20formElement[x].value!=%22%22)%20%20{

%20%20}
}

etc etc...

The code you have pasted her is code needed for the client side validation to function, not "random" code. can you provide a link to the page that is not working so I can take a look at the problem.

Pages showing error

hi Jason

Here's the page with the form validation, but no Google Search:

contact.php

When I add the Google Search it ends up like this:

test.php

If you look at the source you'll see that the validation script has broken

thanks

I am not able to reproduce the problem using the latest version of Dreamweaver Tools for Google.

Looking at the broken code, could it be possible that you cursor was inside of the javascript code when you added the Google Search?


What version of Dreamweaver tools for Google do you have installed?

What version of Dreamweaver?

What is you OS?

Rob,

I had a similar issue a couple of week's back and found that (in my issue) it was just related to having an additional form on the page that preceded by second form so when adding client validation, it actually didn't set the form id correctly. One thing you may want to check is in your Behaviors Panel (Not Server Behaviors) and look at the Client Validations... first make sure they are all there and then inspect them... I had to manually change the form to reflect the correct form id to fix the issue. I think Ray said in future versions, this would get fixed as the Client Validation would then assign form ID names if one did not exist as the problem I had seemed to be related to the fact that validation currently assigns an array such as form(0), form(1), etc.

Best regards,

Brian
