Hi,

I have a JSP page in which I am iterating four columns for 5 times. I need to validate one column for a particular date and one column for numbers. When I used JavaScript, its validating only the first one. How to validate all the rows. Here is the code sample.


<tr>
<td><b>Expense Date</b></td>
<td><b>Expense Type</b></td>
<td><b>Description</b></td>
<td><b>Amount in Rs</b></td>
</tr>
<% for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
%>
<TR>
<TD><html:text property="expdt" size="26"/></TD>
<TD><html:select property="expenseType" size="1">
<html ptions collection="exptype" property="shortName" labelProperty="name"/>
</html:select>
</TD>
<TD><html:text property="expdesc" size="27"/></TD>
<TD><html:text property="expamt" size="26"/></TD>
</TR>
<%
}
%>

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Visu

Are you using the Struts Validation framework for this? If so, I'd recommend that you write your own JavaScript code instead, as the framwork doesn't handle validation very well in this type of situation.

If you are already using your own JavaScript, show us your code. I'd suggest using the Document Object Model (DOM) to iterate through the fields to validate them instead of trying to find them by name.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. I am using Javascript. I am trying to retrieve the values by name, which I am not able to perform correctly. Can you please give me a sample code of how to iterate through the fields using the Document Object Model, because I am just a novice is JavaScript.

Thanks in advance,
Visu

In order to understand how to use the DOM in JavaScript, you are going to have to invest some time in learning it. Here are a couple of tutorials that may be useful.

If, after reading these links, you still have questions, let us know.

Hi,

Thanks for the links. Now I have another problem. I need to design a JSP page. The format is such that of a tab layout. When I click on a particular link, I need to have a group of checkboxes populated with values from database. Please help me out.

Thanks in advance,
Visu
