Form validation in IE is not working

nfaustino 11 Nov, 2011
Hi.
I'm using Joomla 1.7 and the latest version of Chronoforms.

In IE the field validation is not working. The form is completly submited (with success) but no validation.
I noticed the error in the botton of the page, in IE. It was a JQuery error.

I put the code jQuery.noConflict(); in the "Load JS" box. If i enable "Dynamic File" the error in IE persits. If i disable it, the error disapears.

But the problem remains: field validation in IE doesn't do nothing.

Can you help me about this issue?

I have the same problem using IE8 with joomla 1.7. Although the forms validation works OK with Firefox and Chrome it is possible to submit without any validation using IE8.

Hi nfaustino,

You have <p> tags around the form plugin tag in the article something like <p>{chronoforms}form_name{/chronoforms]</p>

Please edit the article and remove them or replace them with <div> tags.

Thanks Greyhead - I had <p> tags around the form I tested - removed them and now it is working OK.

Thanks GreyHead.
The <p> tags was the problem...

Now the validation works.

Hi,
I've chronoform 4.0 RC2.0 in a 1.7 joomla! version.
All works in firefox (form+confirm mail) but in IE I can't send the form: I fill all the blanks and when I click submit' button nothing happens.
I linked the chronoform to a menu' button. What can I do?
I've read some post about IE but nothing about my bug.
Thanks

Hi annabra,

Is this IE8 or IE9 (or both)? There seem to be some problems with MooTools 1.3 and IE9. Forcing the form page into IE8 mode seems to fix it. There are instructions here for doing that if this is the problem.

Ok for the code: where I have to put it in? Sorry for my ignorance...

Hi annabra,

Drag a Custom code action in the On Load event and put it in the Code box of the action.

Hi Bob, thanks for your help.
Unfortunately the form doesn't work yet...
I edited my form in advanced mode and dragged Costum Code and pasted your code but nothing: when I click submit-buttom I see a little movement and the background slide-down. that's all: no confirm email, no thanks message...

Hi annabra,

I think this is a RocketTheme problem. Please try turning off 'Input Formatting' in the template Advanced options section.
