I am using validation on a grid with CF connector similar to:
On it’s own the above works fine.
Is there any way to call a Javascript alert on the HTML (grid) page? I have tried numerous variations on the following (inside the function) with no luck:
WriteOutput (' ');Can anyone offer any guidance?
During dataprocessor init you can use something like
dp.init(mygrid);
dp.attachEvent("onAfterUpdate", function(sid, action, tid){
if (action == "invalid")
alert("Your selection is invalid");
return true;
});
Yes, that has solved it.
Many thanks Stanislav.
Carrying on from the above can you offer any guidance on how to deal with multiple validation requirements in this context?
I have 2 or 3 different (server side) validation requirements on this grid and would like to fire a different alert depending on which validation didn’t pass.
The validation itself works fine - it is just passing different messages back to the onAfterUpdate event that is unclear.
I can use if (action == “error”) as well as if (action == “invalid”) to get two options but that is not the ultimate solution. The goal is to have a variety of alerts that fire based on which of numerous server side validations don’t pass.
You can transfer extra info back to client
On server side
<cfset action.set_response_attribute("mydata","validation message here")>docs.dhtmlx.com/doku.php?id=dhtm … ion_object
on client side
dp.attachEvent("onAfterUpdate", function(sid, action, tid, tag){
if (action == "invalid")
alert(tag.getAttribute("mydata"));
return true;
});
