DCT Assistance

Hi Devnet Gurus,

I have DCT with radio button called it news and annoucement. Based on radio button my DCT fields changes using FormAPI. Validation of DCT fields is also done by this FormAPI. I have expirationdate YYYY-MM-DD which is required field in annoucement. Now, I am creating news DCT but everytime I click on save it says please check required field before saving. I have input all the fields as required. I removed regex from expiration date from DCT. Now, I can create and save news DCR using the DCT. Probably is that annoucement doesn't have regex validation for expiration date now.

Any assistance to resolve this would be helpful. Thank you.

Can you attach your DCT? Also, are you changing anything with FormAPI?

Here's the attachment! For Expiration Date I have default YYYY-MM-DD that were regex fails when radio button is swtiched to News Regular. Just for quick summary News Regular doesn't require Expiration Date field. Hope this helps.

PS - If I removed default YYYY-MM-DD than even when I switch to different option using Radio button proper validation works but I need to have default YYYY-MM-DD for expiration date with in Alert & News Feature. Thanks.

Okay - we have the DCT - but we don't have the JS files:

    <script language="javascript" location="template-type" src="../../scripts/alert_news.js" />
    <script language="javascript" location="template-type" src="../../scripts/dcr_common.js" />

NOTE - before you bother posting those - please try changing the above to (scroll the inset window to the right):

    <script language="javascript" location="template-type" src="../../scripts/alert_news.js" ></script>
    <script language="javascript" location="template-type" src="../../scripts/dcr_common.js" ></script>

IE does not tend to like empty script elements - and so it could cause strange behavior.

I have modified as you recommend Ghoti and have attached the JS too for assistance. Thanks.

Once again - issue is with ExpirationDate where I have YYYY-MM-DD as default and if I remove it than code works. But, I would like to have default YYYY-MM-DD which is required for only NewsFeature.

Thanks.

Some suggestions:

The first will probably fix your problem, the second should make it a bit easier to maintain (and re-use) your code.

FormsPublisher DCT Parser is perfectly content with both script Tag formats. The (DCR Form Page) code that is
ultimately rendered to the browser has *IE agreeable* form regardless

Nice to know - however it's worth getting in the habit of using the container-style syntax ... I've lost several hours on projects involving CGI scripts (custom menu items, DCT callouts, workflow cgitasks) due to this kind of stuff.
