Ajax validation for fields isn't working. I've enabled the checkbox but validation doesn't occur until after the submit button is pressed. What must I do to have it work as expected? Also, how can I catch various exceptions such as null/blank field, data in wrong format, size too long or short, etc.?

Hello,

By using the AJAX validation feature, your form will be validated without refreshing the page when you press the submit button and not after you had completed a field.

Validation rules are indeed available for you to choose from, they are explained here:

If they do not suit your needs, you can try creating your own custom ones:

Can you add a working URL of your form so I can have a look?

Thank you for your reply.

Is there a way to have a field validated when it loses focus and not when the submit button is pressed? It would be best if a validation error is caught when the user is finished filling in the field.

I took a look at the validation.php file. It will allow me to create a custom validation rule but I don't think it will address my concern.

How can I:

1) Check for Null/blank field. Report a custom error if caught. If no error, go to step #2.

2) Check for invalid data. Report a custom error if caught. If no error, go to step #3. etc. etc.

I understand that I can do multiple checks in a single routine and report pass or fail. But, I can't report to the user why a validation error occurred. That is, it failed because the field is blank or it failed because the data is invalid. Is there a way to do this?

Unfortunately I can't provide you with a URL at this time as I'm currently working on the form.

Thanks!

is there any solution on this?
