Hi
I have noticed a several plugings (jquery mask and the dojo date
widget) auto correct user data if it is entered improperly. Or they
delete the data when the user tabs out of the input.
Is this normal behaviour for apps heavy with javascript?
It seems dangerous. A defect was opened in one of my apps (validation
on the server side) due to this behaviour. The user would enter bad
data in an optional input, click submit - then no error. They would
not even know they did anything wrong, because the input deleted
itself before submitting.
Just wondering how this is usually handled.
Thanks

How would we know?
You could look inside.

Define "apps heavy with javascript".
Are you perchance talking about Java?

How does one open a "defect"?
The user would enter bad

How can an <inputbe optional?

not even know they did anything wrong, because the input deleted
itself before submitting.
Perhaps the value/content of the <inputdid?

To clarify what I'm asking:
When js libraries (like some of the jquery plugins) are attached to an
<input>, is it normal to auto-correct the user onblur?

Depends. Some slight cleanup may be useful (for instance, removing
unneeded whitespace), but as you point out when taken to extremes it can
lead to unintuitive behaviour.
If it doesn't do what you think it should do, don't do it.

Recently I made a 'improvement' from an 'old' system we used for i2c
bus testing as I had no access to the source code, I started from

The idea just came from a Python/wxPython trial in my spare time, then
suddently I realized that the system was already a working prototype,
at least the main functions we used from the old software were already
working, so I code for some of the...

Hello-
I have a database that uses an auto number field type that goes out of

month or two, then the auto number field goes berserk again. Do you have
any ideas what the client may be doing to cause this problem, or is...

Hi,
I need help in getting this database to work well (user-friendly) by generating auto client ID. The ID is NOT the auto number that Access automatically create when there is no primary key.
For example: 1/1/2006 ; 2/1/2006; 3/1/2006
The first number represent the client number and,
the second number represent the month of January and,
the last number represent the year

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.
Here is my compilation command:
