Cusotm function and 'required' needed for empty fields

[Rolf Herbert]

Hi all,

I am using a custom function so that I can implement a 'THIS OR THAT' type check.

I have two fields and one OR the other OR both need to be filled in.

The issue is that if I dont use the required class an empty field, though returned as false by my custom function, is not counted as a validation fail when the form is submitted.

If I use the 'required' class then it confuses the users and also means I have to add/remove this class between the two fields depending on if they are empty or contain the right stuff.

Am I missing something here..?

Form

        <input name="pHourCredits" type="text" id="pHourCredits" class="validate['@checkHours']" size="4" /><span class="inputAfter">days</span> 

        OR

        <input name="pHourCreditsHours" type="text" id="pHourCreditsHours" class="validate['@checkHours']" size="4" /><span class="inputAfter">hours</span> 

custom function 'should' always invalidate the form

function checkHours(el){

el.errors.push("You must enter either the number of days or total number of hours.");

    return false;

}

Any ideas without going through the hula of adding the required class on submition then removing it and so on

Hi, I'm experiencing the same.

I suspect there's no easy workaround, but I may be wrong.
Have you solved it anyhow?

Hi,

In FormCheck, you need to include the custom function name in input element by '%FunctionName' or '~FunctionName', instead of '@FunctionName'.
