Required doesnt work

Hi!
Congratulations with this great piece of software. Im new in this but i'm already thrilled.
But (for now)i have one question. Some fields i have stamped as "required" doesnt act like that when i fill the form in my website. I can submit the form without filling these fields.

Here some of the HTML:

 <div class="form_element cf_heading">
    <h2 class="cf_text">AANMELDINGSFORMULIER <BR>
SEIZOEN 2011/2012 <BR>FRAPPANT MUZIEKTHEATER</h2></center>
  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_heading">
    <h3 class="cf_text">Persoonlijke gegevens deelneme(e)m(st)er</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_textbox">
    <label class="cf_label" style="width: 220px;">Voornaam</label>
    <input class="cf_inputbox required validate-alpha" maxlength="150" size="30" title="" id="text_2" name="text_2" type="text" />
  
  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_textbox">
    <label class="cf_label" style="width: 220px;">Achternaam:</label>
    <input class="cf_inputbox required validate-alpha" maxlength="150" size="30" title="" id="text_3" name="text_3" type="text" />

etc Where did i go wrong?

Kind regards

Hi Manke!

I had the same problem of yours when I tried to use a different and more interesting Login Plugin.

The reason was the "System - Mootools Upgrade" set to "Enable". This was a requirement for the Login, but also caused problems with the validation, so I had to turn it to "Disable", and return with the default login module of Joomla!. I use the v 3.2 version.
If I'm correct, Greyhead posted a solution to a similar problem. Looks like you need to force load another mootools version library. Unfortunately, I don't have the piece of code.

Also, I would recommend you check if you enabled "Live Javascript Validation" at the "Validation" tab, just click at the form's name, in "Forms Management".

Best luck,
Aluizo Jr.


PS.: just a suggestion, when posting code, put it surrounded with "code", that turns easier to understand.🙂

Hi Manke,

Please post a link to the form so we can take a quick look. It's probably a JavaScript problem as Aluizo suggests.

Hey Aluizojr and Greyhead!
Thanks for helping me!

No problem Manke,

I pasted your form here and I got only the required fields validation, so no bypassing required fields. Also noted there's no messages related to the invalid input types, the "title" attribute of the form items, contains a validation text when the input is wrong...

I hope Greyhead has a better insight of this case.

Best luck,
Aluizo Jr.

Hi Manke,

Not much I'm afraid. The form without the template works OK so there is a conflict with something in the template but I can't see what that is. There are no obvious JavaScript errors appearing :-(

Hi aluizojr and Bob,

Strange, isnt it?!

Well i decided to deinstall Chronoforms and then reinstall it again.
Hopefully it will work then.

I will keep you informed.
Thanks again for helping me finding a solution.
