both javascript and serverside validations running

[Sree Jag]

Hi all,

i am using javascript validation along with server side validation using struts.

the problem is that both validations are running one after the other.

how to control this so that only javascript validation runs? if javascript is disabled the serverside validations should take place.

thanks,
Seshu

Seshu,
I don't think you can. The sever side validation is supposed to be a fail safe for when javascript is disabled. As they should be checking for the same rules, it isn't a problem if both run.

hi Jeanne,

But the problem is the html:errors tag present in the jsp displays the serverside errors too. we don't want both javascript and serversside errors to show up right?.

and also, the struts site says that the form will not be submitted if the javascript validation fails. but the form is getting submitted even if there are errors. i think that is the problem behind both validations being performed.

any ideas y the form is being submitted even if javascript validation fails?

Seshagiri,
Are you using any other javascript on the page? If there are javascript errors, a form may submit regardless off the validation.

Also, can you post the line of code from the generated HTML (not the JSP) beginning with <form

I agree with Jeanne. There is probably other javascript on the page that is causing the form to submit.

Peter den Haan had given a solution to a similar problem some time back. Check if this applies to you.
