No validation error displayed for Replicant.

Hi All,

I'm facing some strange problem with TS 6.5 FormAPI

In my DCT i have structure like this

<item name="FEATURE_CONTENT">
<label>Feature Content</label>
<replicant min="0" max="2" hide-name="f" readonly="t" default="0">
<item name="Text1">
<label>Feature Link</label>
<description> Description 1</description>
<text required="f" size="50" maxlength="100">
some cgi callout
</text>
</item>

<item name="Text2">
<label>Feature Link 2</label>
<description> Description 2</description>
<text required="f" size="50" maxlength="100">
some cgi callout
</text>
</item>
</replicant>
</item>


In a javascript file, while doing validations I'm pushing error for say item text1 in following way

errors.push( new ContentError(relatedItem2, ERR_MSG_HP_EMPTY_FOR_ACTIVE_YES) );

here value of 'relatedItem2' is seen as \FEATURE_CONTENT[1]\Text1 (Is this the right way to address some item in Replicant.????)

But the validation errors are not getting displayed for fileds text 1 and text2. The strange thing is that the errors are getting displayed for the items which are not in replicants.

If anyone has solution for this please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

What calls to FormAPI code are you using? It's hard to help if the only code posted
is your own code [neither 'errors' nor 'ContentError' is part of the FormAPI; that must be your own JavaScript code].

You can set validation handlers either for a specific instance of a replicant or for all instances of a replicant.

If you want validation on every instance of a replicant, you can use something like:

function yourValidationFunction(iwitem)
{
   //do whatever validation you want
   return true; 
}

function init(){
  IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/FEATURE_CONTENT/Text1", "onSave", yourValidationFunction);
  IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/FEATURE_CONTENT/Text2", "onSave",  yourValidationFunction);
}

IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);

If you only want the first instance's text1 and text2 fields to be validated (which seems unlikely), use "/FEATURE_CONTENT[1]/Text1", etc.
