Select validation error

Hi All,

I have a validation issue with drop down list (select), validation works fine for all other fields (text box, text area, etc) but it does not validate select drop down list.

I checked similar issues posted in this forum and took steps mentioned there but it did not help me.

Below is the form code:

Select drop down 1 for Country :

<select class="cf_inputbox validate-selection required" id="select_6" size="1" title="Select your country from the list"  name="country">
                <option value="">Select Country</option> 
                <option value="United States">United States</option> 
                <option value="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</option> 
                <option value="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</option> 
                ........ 
                ........ 
                <option value="Yemen">Yemen</option> 
                <option value="Zambia">Zambia</option> 
                <option value="Zimbabwe">Zimbabwe</option>
                </select>

Select drop down 2 for credit card type :

<select class="cf_inputbox validate-selection required" id="select_16" size="1" title="Select your card type"  name="paycardtype">
          <option value="">Select</option>
<option value="Visa Card">Visa Card</option>
<option value="Master Card">Master Card</option>
    </select>

My Joomla version : Joomla! 1.5.22
Mootools upgrade: disabled
Chronoforms version: ChronoForms V3.2.0
Chronoforms Plugin version: ChronoForms V3.1_RC5.2

If someone has faced similar issues, let me know.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Nesa,

I just pasted your credit card example into a form and the validation works OK here :-(

Please post a link to the form so we can take a quick look.

Hi Bob,

Below is the url

http://demo.bizards.in/negma.net/index.php/component/content/article/52.html

In the above form you need to select any one of the radio button to proceed further.

Hi Nesa,

it looks to me as though you are using the copy of jsvalidation2.js I modified to work with MooTools 1.2 but you are using MooTools 1.12 still. If you switch back to the original MooTools 1.12 versions of the files it should be OK.

The error comes up at line 228

if ( !field.match('form') ) {

Bob

PS I think that the error is because the match() method expects a string and not an Object.

Hi Bob,

Yes for another issue I had to use the mootool 1.2 version, I had kept backup, I switched back to the earlier version, it didn't work.

Also i uploaded the js file which was there in chronoforms package (ChronoForms_V3.2.0.zip), even this didn't help me :?

Hi nesa,

As far as I can see this is working OK now? Is it fixed?

Hi!
I'm full of error 😀
I've made custom multiselect element and I want that this element should be required. At least one selection must be made:

<select class="cf_inputbox validate-selection required" id="myList" name="adv[]" multiple="multiple" disabled='disabled' size="8">
   <option value="111">„123“</option>
    ...
</select>

I've added class="cf_inputbox validate-selection required" line, but validation check skips select element. Also tried

<select class="inputSelect required validate-selection" id="myList" name="adv[]" multiple="multiple" disabled='disabled' size="8">

I could provide a link to this form.
P.S. I've deleted the disabled='disabled', bet it doesn't make any sense, because I load additional JS

Hi 01,

This is an old thread from CFv3. The validation codes are different in CFv4.

Hi, GreyHead!

Understood. So it should be treated in this way?

<select class=" validate['required']" id="myList" name="adv[]" multiple="multiple" size="8">

But it also doesn't work😟

Hi 01,

That looks OK - but if this is the same form as in your other thread it won't work on the disabled select drop-down.
