Hi all,
I have a form for adding new entries in my "dev" model. I need to check empty fields in that using javascript function. but in my form im having combo box and other fields in rails code.
my query is : does javascript function identify rails code and validate the fields like it does for html?
my code is given below.. but it doesnt work.. please help me with this:
view: <form action="/device/addDevice" method="post" onsubmit="return validate(document.getElementById('labt_id'),'Choose!')" name="validation">
<h3> Add Device</h3><fieldset> <p style="color:red;"> <%= "Fields marked with * are required" %></p> <legend>Device Info</legend>
<ol> <li> <label>Device Name </label>: <%= text_field "dev", "name", :size => 20%> <style="color:red;"><%= "*" %></style> </li>
</ol> </fieldset> <fieldset><legend class="style5">Location Details</legend> <ol> <li><label>Lab : </label> <%= collection_select(:labt, :id, @labts, :id, :name,:prompt=>"Select a Lab") %><%="*"%> </li>
</ol> </fieldset>
<fieldset class="submit">
<input name="commit" type="submit" value="Add Device" /> </fieldset> </form>
javascript function: <script type="text/javascript"> function validate(elem,msg) { if(elem.value=="Select a Lab") { alert(msg); return false; } else { return true; }
} </script>
