Targeting Fields with Period in Name

[Richard Herbert]

I'm using John Whish's ColdBox interceptor adaptation of Brian Kotek's fine FormUtilities and VT works fine for the server-side validation but it failing on the client-side.

I'm guessing this is due to the fact that VT targets the input name attribute, as in name="user.username" and jQuery needs the period to be escaped with a double-backslash to be able to "see" it.

I've now found the clientfieldname attribute but that doesn't seem to help...

<property name="username" clientfieldname="username" desc="Username">

<rule type="required" contexts="*" failuremessage="A Username is required" />

</property>

...and...

<input id="username" name="user.username" type="text" />

Am I doing it wrong?

Okay, I've worked it out. I *was* doing it wrong! This works for me...

<property name="username" clientfieldname="user.username" desc="Username">

<rule type="required" contexts="*" failuremessage="A Username is required" />

</property>

...and...

<input id="user.username" name="user.username" type="text" />

Result!

Hey Richard - stop trying to make out it's my fault! :D
