Hi All
This I hope is a simple question:
I have a field in a table that I want to be 'required' but appear empty when you first open the form, but not accept blank and be from a dropdown list.
at the moment this field looks like:
<code>
$opts['fdd']['client_on_tax_cd'] = array(
'name' => 'Client on tax CU Form',
'select' => 'D',
'maxlen' => 1,
'values' => array(' ','Y','N'),
'options' => 'ACV',
'required' => true,
'sort' => true
</code>
as the first value is ' ', this field looks empty when the form is opened but when you hit the Save button it doesnt come up with a warning saying that you must enter data into this field as its required as it accepts ' ', as a selection.
Is there a way to changes this so that the field is blank when opened, be from a dropdown list, and not accept blank as a selection?
Hope this makes sense
Cheers
Ned

I haven't tried this so I'm just guessing / speculating but... have you tried getting rid of the space?
i.e.
'values' => array('','Y','N'),
Would that work??

Thanks Debstar
but unfortunately '' doesnt work
the field looks and is blank but it doesnt come up with 'required field' warning
I was thinking about attacking this a different way
by instead of having the field blank ('',) style
having the first option appearing as 'default','Y','N' and having a trigger or something that comes up with a warning if the field has the text 'default' in it.
Has anyone done something like this before or got any other ideas? I've no idea how to start writing a trigger - anyone got full examples?.
cheers

Thanks for the reply Michal
the 'js''regexp' worked fine on normal - text entry fields but I can't get it to work on dropdown lists
from the below code I would expect that if there it was empty(the first option) OR if the answer was Y or N then a JavaScript box would appear with the text from 'hint', but its just not happening, it accepts anything.
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['client_on_tax'] = array(
'name' => 'Client on tax *',
'select' => 'D',
'maxlen' => 1,
'values' => array('','Y','N'),
'js' => array(
'required' => true,
'regexp' => '/^[0-9]*$/',
'hint' => 'Please enter a option for Client on Tax'
),
'required' => true,
'options' => 'ACV',
'sort' => true
);

Is there anything wrong with the above code?
Note: I updated to the latest myphpedit.class.php file
Cheers

is that js loaded with drop down ? (does actual js code appear on html page as it apears with normal text input ? )
if yes, something is wrong with html-js combination (bad variable names,...) i'm not good at this.
if no, core class has to hacked to put js on drop down as well (so a feature request).

will do
thing to note
below is the html source code from the page.
the first value 'telephone_mobile' uses js and works fine as its a normal text entry field and the second value 'client_on_tax' is the drop down list
| Code: |
if (phpMyEdit_trim(theForm.telephone_mobile.value) == "" || !(/^[0-9]*$/.test(phpMyEdit_trim(theForm.telephone_mobile.value)))) {
alert("Please enter a Mobile Telephone number");
theForm.telephone_mobile.focus();
return false;
}
if (theForm.client_on_tax.selectedIndex == -1) {
alert("Please enter a option for Client on Tax");
theForm.client_on_tax.focus();
return false;
}

Thanks

I'm having the same problem,
I still don't know how to solve it but I guess there's a bug in PME because selectedIndex can never be -1 and thus
the 'if' statement will always fail.
