Validating a value in a field

validate a form field to ensure a minimum value.

Overview

The form field accepts values below the required minimum of 20.00.
Add a custom validation function in the field's Validation tab and include the corresponding JavaScript function via a Load JavaScript action in the form setup.

Hello,

I am trying to validate the value in a field but it is proving difficult and I cannot see why.

I have a form with a field where I want the user to enter a value but the minimum value should be 20.00. How can I get the form to validate that the value entered is not less that 20.00?

Hi Luther,

In the text input settings Validation tab add a Custom validation function e.g. checkMin. I also set the Mask to Integer.

In the Setup tab add a Load JavaScript action to the On Load event and add this code:
function checkMin(el) {
  return ( el.val() >= 20 ); 
}
That seems to work OK.

You may also want to add a custom validation error message using the Title box.
