Textarea not validated

Hi all,
i found a bug with joomla 1.5.11 and the latest release of chronoforms. If i set to true the required field of a textarea it doesn't validate it😲

I can validate a testarea here, show me your form!

ok, it's a test form:

Hi, its the reset button breaks the validation, please remove it or open the code view and add a name for it!😉

Hi Kiki,

your form validates very fine here, I have added your code to a new form and enabled validation at the last tab and saved!! you don't need to enable validation if you have "LOad Chronoforms files" setting set to yes under the general tab, this is preferred for wizard created forms!

Max

HI Thank you for your attention.

Let's recap: if i have load files to "Yes" in General tab it should be no no under validation tab, or do i still need to validate on submit?

p.s. i tried both ways and the form is still being submitted empty.. see it at http://www.website-do.com/seo-cms-company/contact-us.html

hi Kiki,

Please enable the "load files option" only because your form is created using the wizard, then remove anything under the "date fields names" at the bottom of the general tab, this is a small bug in the current release!

Regards
Max

Max darling, you will not like it..

i followed and:

1. d/m/y when deleted and form saved doesn't go away...
2. i tried to delete dashboard as well.. comes back on
3. i tried
onsubmit=return validateForm(Contact) ... didn't fix

We have mootools reduced and no java running.. could it be the issue??

tried debug

1. Form passed first SPAM check OK
2. Form passed the submissions limit (if enabled) OK
3. Form passed the Image verification (if enabled) OK
4. Form passed the server side validation (if enabled) OK
5. $_POST Array: Array ( [text_0] => [text_1] => [text_7] => [text_6] => [button_2] => Submit [cc1f1d585a12fb2e296fc4cf9f52008a] => 1 [1cf1] => 8ee675f3d806d6bfd8940da1d6f87e5a [chronoformname] => Contact )
6. $_FILES Array: Array ( )
7. Form passed the plugins step (if enabled) OK
8. An email has been SENT successfully from (admin)info@website-do.com to [email]info@website-do.com[/email]
9. Debug End
10.
Redirect link set, click to test:

hi Kiki,

please apply the fix posted by Peter here:
http://www.chronoengine.com/forums/index.php?option=com_chronoforums&cont=posts&f=3&t=15000#p36193

then make sure the date fields names is empty then hit save and retry and let me know!

indeed this bug may break all the validation but not the text area only, if its the text area only then I suspect there is something else! :? however your code works here perfectly on FF3
