Hello
I have been working on this for quite some time now, and have no clue
why my app behaves the way it does.
Here is the code snippet that controls this behaviour.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function validateForm()
{
var valid = true;
var today = new Date();
var curdate = today.getFullYe ar()+"-"+(today.getMon th()
+1)+"-"+today.getDate ();
if (compareDates(c urdate,"yyyy-M-
d",document.Par ms.ENDDATE.valu e,"yyyy-MM-d") != 0)
{
alert ("blah blah .");
valid = false;
}
return valid;
}
function submitForm(clic kbutton)
{
if (clickbutton.na me == "submit")
{
if (validateForm() )
{
//blah blah
document.top.ac tion = "./task_submitreco rd.jsp";
document.Parms. action = "./task_submitreco rd.jsp";
document.top.su bmit();
document.Parms. submit();
}
}
else if (clickbutton.na me == "cancel")
{
document.top.ac tion = "./task_init.jsp";
document.Parms. action = "./task_init.jsp";
document.top.su bmit();
document.Parms. submit();
}
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I have two forms on this page: top and Parms and I intend to submit
them after a validation function has worked its way through to
ensuring all values are the way I want them to be. My validation
function works fine and displays the alert messages as I want them. I
check for the valid variable in the submitForm function and only do
the submit action after validation has returned true! Although I see
the error messages which guarantees that valid has been set to false,
why does my page refresh at all? It does not go to the next page, but
it refreshes the same page and loses half the interface information.
If all the information is correct and no error messages are found,
then the new link is opened and the functionality is completed. But if
validation results in an error, then the same page keeps refreshing
itself (I hope this is clear enough).
I can press the back button to restore the page (which could be a
workaround for this case), but I would like to know what exactly is
screwing this up? Is it the multiple forms being submitted together or
is it something else? Thanks in advance.

Never mind....I solved it! (turns out declaring your buttons as input
type submits causes a double submit action and forces a refresh if
nothing else, changed those to regular buttons and it worked)

The problem is probably in the HTML code. If you're using the
onClick event handler of a link, but not intending to actually
link to anything, that's probably at the root of your problem.
What you see as a page refresh is the browser following the link
to the current page.
In general, it's a bad idea to submit a form via Javascript in
a validation function. Use a type=submit button and have your
onsubmit event handler return false if your validation fails.

Hi, after coding for days on stupid form validations -
Like:
strings (min / max length), numbers(min / max value), money(min / max
value), postcodes(min / max value), telefon numbers,
email adresses and so on.
I thought it might be a better way to programm an automated, dynamic
form validation that works for all kinds of fields, shows the
necessary error messages and highlights the coresponding form fields.

I have a server object that performs zipcode validation based on zipcode

Ideally this should work as follows:
Once the zip code is entered in the edit box it should validate the

dropdown field.
- What is the event by which we can do this for the edit box? (OnBlur doesnt
seem to capture the text though it fires up the server object)

Hi,
Has anyone experienced the problem where validation controls stop a
previously working page from submitting.
Sometimes, when I move between my work machine and my home machine
validation that was previously working perfectly just starts to bugger up
the page.
One normally happens is I'll have it working fine at work and then when I

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
