JQM (jQueryMobile) HTML5 Form Validation

Need to add form validation for each form and wanted to take advantage of the html5 syntax, that's why I liked the h5validate plugin but everything I try nothing happens, ugh...

I've also looked at the jQuery Validation plugin but the additional syntax and markup is something I'm trying to avoid. And I've looked at HTML5FORM but it is using jQuery 1.4.2 and I'm using 1.5.x

Wanted to know if anyone else had any luck with html5 and multi form validation submission?

A.

I have had success with multi forms with the validationEngine.js plugin from here http://www.position-relative.net/creation/formValidator/

Example here: http://coww.ws/jqmtest/

Hope this helps?

A2.

ValidVal is what I'm going with, it has all the simple syntax and takes advantage of the html5 attributes for validation

I'm trying to use form validation that is working in this example with my jQuery Mobile project:

http://jsfiddle.net/elijahmanor/A8jt3/light/

This example works but uses an older version of jQuery Mobile js and css files. I'm working with the 1.0 release version which appears to have broken this form validation. You can see my updated version at:

http://jsfiddle.net/8dHg9/3/

You'll notice when you click the Login button you get the alert messages but they are not in red and are in the wrong location compared to the original version.

Can anyone locate what broke the original version and how to restore functionality to new version using jQuery Mobile 1.0?

Try this:

alternative to href="#"

Regarding "sending the user to the top of the page"; you should just return false from your the function you have hooked up as a click() handler;

$('a').click(function() {
    // Do your stuff.
    // The below line prevents the 'href' on the anchor to be followed.
    return false;
});

CENTERING THINGS

A common task for CSS is to center text or images. In fact, there are three kinds of centering:

• Centering lines of text
• Centering a block of text or an image
• Centering a block or an image vertically

This small paragraph is vertically centered.

DIV.container {
    min-height: 10em;
    display: table-cell;
    vertical-align: middle }
...
<DIV class="container">
  <P>This small paragraph is vertically centered.
</DIV>

Using .data to attach (key,value) on any element, or jquery object

Using .data to attach (key,value) on any element, or jquery object
Purpose: To save data for later use, by callback functions
(e.g., knowing which control called this function, so that you know which control to update the text of)


$('#select-choice-custom-button').data('foo', 52); //place/save data
asdf = $('#select-choice-custom-button').data('foo') //retrieve/load data



CAVEAT:

//console.log($('#select-choice-custom-button').data()); //prints too many things; forgot to put a .data('keyname');



EXAMPLE USAGE:
$('#select-choice-custom-button').data('foo', 52);
alert($('#select-choice-custom-button').data('foo'));
console.log('ok');
 
   

jquery How to get the currently-selected TEXT inside a selectbox, not the value? (value is easy.)

jquery How to get the currently-selected TEXT inside a selectbox, not the value? (value is easy.)

to get the text:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1643227/jquery-get-selected-text-from-dropdownlist

$('#yourdropdownid').children("option:selected").text();
which is an optimization of

$("#yourdropdownid option:selected").text();

for completeness, to get the value:


<script>
var submit_product_edit_form = function() {
    // create a form hidden input with the value of true.
    $('<input>').attr({
        type: 'hidden',
        name: 'hidden_lang_change',
        value: true,
    }).appendTo('#product_view_form');

    // submit POST with it.
    $("#product_view_form").submit();
};

$("#id_lang").change(function() { // If Bulk Action selectbox OnChange
    submit_product_edit_form();
});
</script>
