Form Validator

This validator requires inserting some scripts on the head section of the page.

All you need is to have at least one editable region into the head section. Most Dreamweaver versions inserts an editable region into the template automatically.

---

Here are a group of common samples that con help you with your custom validation rules:

Date (mm/dd/yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy or mm.dd.yyyy):
/^\d{1,2}(\-|\/|\.)\d{1,2}\1\d{4}$/

US zip code (99999 or 99999-9999):
/(^\d{5}$)|(^\d{5}-\d{4}$)/

Canadian postal code (Z5Z-5Z5 orZ5Z5Z5):
/^\D{1}\d{1}\D{1}\-?\d{1}\D{1}\d{1}$/

UK zip code:
/^([a-zA-Z]){1}([0-9][0-9]|[0-9]|[a-zA-Z][0-9][a-zA-Z]|[a-zA-Z][0-9][0-9]|[a-zA-Z][0-9]){1}([ ])([0-9][a-zA-z][a-zA-z]){1}$/

Time (HH:MM or HH:MM:SS or HH:MM:SS.mmm):
/^([1-9]|1[0-2]):[0-5]\d(:[0-5]\d(\.\d{1,3})?)?$/

IP Address(no check for alid values (0-255)) (999.999.999.999):
/^\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}$/

Dollar Amount (100, 100.00, $100 or $100.00):
/^((\$\d*)|(\$\d*\.\d{2})|(\d*)|(\d*\.\d{2}))$/

Social Security Number (999-99-9999 or999999999):
/^\d{3}\-?\d{2}\-?\d{4}$/

Canadian Social Insurance Number (999999999):
/^\d{9}$/

Email:
/(^[a-z]([a-z_\.]*)@([a-z_\.]*)([.][a-z]{3})$)|(^[a-z]([a-z_\.]*)@([a-z_\.]*)(\.[a-z]{3})(\.[a-z]{2})*$)/i

US phone pattern ( (999) 999-9999 or (999)999-9999):
/^\([1-9]\d{2}\)\s?\d{3}\-\d{4}$/

String contains only valid numbers:
/(^-?\d\d*\.\d*$)|(^-?\d\d*$)|(^-?\.\d\d*$)/

Limit file extensions (images in this sample):
/\.jpg$|\.gif$|\.png$/i

---

Note that the regular expresions should be placed between //. Example (US ZIP CODE):

/(^\d{5}$)|(^\d{5}-\d{4}$)/

---

For "checkbox" and "radio" fields use the "is checked" rule.

---

You can use the "Value Required" rule for List/Menu.  Be sure that the value is set to empty, example:
 
<select ...>
 <option value=" ">Please select an option below</option>
 ....
</select>

---

In some cases it is necessary to insert optional fields on a form, but if a value is entered, it still must comply with a particular format.

How to enable this feature in Form Validator:

If a form field is mandatory and besides its value must comply with a particular format, then this field must be associated with two rules: "required" rule and a rule that validates the format of the entered value.

If the entered field is not mandatory but its values must comply with a particular format, then that field must be associated only with the rule that restricts the entered value.

For example, if a Zip Code is not required, the associated rule would be:

formValidatorInstance.addRule ( 'zipcode_field', 'Please enter your Zip Code', 'zipcode');

But if the Zip Code field is required, then its rules would be:

formValidatorInstance.addRule ( 'zipcode_field', 'Please the Zip Code is required', 'required');
formValidatorInstance.addRule ( 'zipcode_field', 'Please enter your Zip Code', 'zipcode');

Note that these rules are generated visually within Dreamweaver, you do not need to write any code yourself.

If you are testing your page directly from your local hard disk in IE 7, this message appears:

"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options."

In IE 7 this message appears when you test a web page that contains a script or Flash item directly form your local hard disk. When you upload your page to an online web server that message does not appear.

The address from a web server must start with http:// or https:// . On the other hand if the address starts with C:\ or file:// then you are testing it from your local hard disk.

Just upload your web page to your web site and you will see that the error disappears.

Please follow these steps:

1. Check if  you have defined a local web site at dreamweaver.
   
2. Check if you have saved the page into your local web site.
   
3. If you are using Dreamweaver templates, check if your templates allow an "Editable Region" in the <HEAD> section of the HTML code.
   
4. Mark the "Use case-sensitive link checking" option in the site settings and recreate your site cache.
5. After these checks, please restart your Dreamweaver and try again.

If the above actions don’t solve the problem, then probably the reason is a wrong HTML structure in the page that you are trying to use the product, in this case, please check the page’s HTML structure and if you cannot find the problem then contact our support service.
