Client side validation

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hey,

i was wondering if there is a way to set the input background color when there is an error in the client side.

currently it changes the div that contains the input?

Thanks,

if u use jquery you can change the color like this




$("#myTextBoxID").attr("style","color:red;");

if you not use jquery




var object=document.getElementById("myTextBoxId");

object.style="color:red;";

Thanks, but i want to change it when there is an error, and i am using Yii validation. so i need to know when the validation is done, and there is an error.

is there a way to know it?

of course…

like in yii standard login form right?

i think you could use firebug and analyze it…

You can modify yiiactiveform.js to add class to input instead of container. Here’s what needs to be changed:

[list=1]

[*]Copy jquery.yiiactiveform.js from framework/web/js/source/ folder to js subfolder of your HTML root folder

[*]Edit jquery.yiiactiveform.js (line 218):

change


var $container = $.fn.yiiactiveform.getInputContainer(attribute, form);

to


var $container = $('#'+attribute.inputID);

[*]Remap jquery.yiiactiveform.js to modified one. To do this, modify scriptMap of client script somewhere in your application:


Yii::app()->clientScript->scriptMap = array('jquery.yiiactiveform.js' => Yii::app()->request->baseUrl.'/js/jquery.yiiactiveform.js');
