any help regarding my post

Waiting an hour is not showing enough patience: PatienceIsAVirtue.

Also, when posting in the HTML/JavaScript forum, please show only the rendered HTML--JSP is useless to us. You may find that looking at the rendered HTML is enough to solve your problem. Plus your JavaScript is wrong anyway, unless you really want a user to be able to select the header label as a legal value.

ok..here is my coding
login.jsp

login.js

any help why it is not validating

I think you misunderstood what I meant when I said "post the rendered HTML". You just posted more *more* JSP, which is kind of the opposite of what is useful.

i had done coding in jsp i didnt used html pages

...

Clients (browsers) don't render JSP. They render HTML. HTML is what gets sent from the server to the client. HTML is what JavaScript acts on.

Post the rendered HTML.

i tried by entering the textfield in jsp using 's' prefix it is validating but not with drop-down box..and the html code is

So, the rendered HTML *does* give you a clue why your JavaScript doesn't work as you expect--right?

i m not getting your point and help me where the code gets wrong.

What's the id of the select element?

id of the select element is uploadtextContType..even if i had given..also it is not getting validated

Do you know how to debug JavaScript?

i dont have any idea..can you tell me how to do.

hi good morning,
any help regarding my post why the drop-down is not getting validated.

can any one provide me the solution.
thanks,
madhu.

Wouldn't it be cleaner to use a regex for the textfield validation? Or at least refactor out the validation code into its own method?

hi,
i tried this way for validation of combo box but im getting validated..here is the code.

hi good morning,
i m unable to do validation for select statement..i tried so many times..but im not getting ..here is the code..can any one help me out.

Works fine for me. I still think you should use a regex for that file thing though.

How will you be uploading the file without a file input?

hi David,
i tried to validate 'combobox' in normal jsp page it is working fine but not it in Struts2.You told it is working fine for you..my code is working fine for you and why not for me?have you done any changes..if so can you provide me the solution.

I ran your code against what you said was the generated HTML. It worked. I didn't change anything.

k..for me why it is not getting..here are the files..can you check it and provide me the solution

UploadText.js

where i went wrong can you provide me the solution for my post

I don't see how this is significantly different. Did you put a breakpoint or alert or console log to see if it's even getting to the code that validates the select?

i checked..till 'TextFile'..it is getting validated..and it is not getting validated for combo box..for Struts2 is there any other way for client side validation for Select statement
