thanks all in advance for your time.
I am trying to create a field validation on my dashboard. My fieldset on dashboard is following:
<fieldset autoRun="true" submitButton="true" >
<input type="text" token="startdate" searchWhenChanged="true" name="sdate" id="sdate">
<placeholder>Last Month</placeholder>
<default></default>
<label>Select a Start Date:</label>
</input>
</fieldset>
And I am trying to retrieve values from my dashboard with the following JS code in app/static directory:
var unsubmittedTokens = mvc.Components.get('default');
var submittedTokens = mvc.Components.get('submitted');
var urlTokens = mvc.Components.get('url');
var startDate = mvc.Components.get('sdate');
submittedTokens.on('change:startdate', function(){
// When the token changes...
if(!submittedTokens.get('startdate')) {
alert("no token");
} else {
alert("got a token");
var startdate = document.getElementsByName('sdate').value;
alert(startdate);
}
});
I couldn't start my validation functions since somehow I can't get value of the field to JS.
I want my validation to work in input textfields whenever a field value changes.
I can get value "undefined" with getelementbyName function above. But I can't get what user entered into textfield.
I would be appreciated if someone can help me with above, moreover, if there is an easier way to validate fields on form-Dashboard, you could share it as well.
I m a new splunker, thanks again for your time&efforts.
Try getting the value using "mvc.Components.get("sdate").val()". Thus, your code should look something like this:
var unsubmittedTokens = mvc.Components.get('default');
var submittedTokens = mvc.Components.get('submitted');
var urlTokens = mvc.Components.get('url');
var startDate = mvc.Components.get('sdate');
submittedTokens.on('change:startdate', function(){
// When the token changes...
if(!submittedTokens.get('startdate')) {
alert("no token");
} else {
alert("got a token");
var startdate = mvc.Components.get("sdate").val();
alert(startdate);
}
});
hey Luke,
I tried this before. I don't know why but got a token alert works. But Val() function doesn't work. that alert is not launched at all. Apparently JS fails to compile at that line. I keep searching, thanks for response.
Did you find a solution to this issue? I am having the same problem getting val() to work.
