Hi,

I want to use form api to validate the maximum character in DCT.

Hi

I presume you want to enforce a number of characters for a particular field.

For text and browser items you can use the maxlength attribute.

For textarea you could use something like:

var string = myItem.getValue();
if (string.length > 200)
{
myItem.setValid(false);
alert("You have entered " + string.length + " characters, you can enter a maximum of ......");
}
else
{
myItem.setValid(true);
}

Hope this helps, if not you might want to provide a few more details Smiley Happy

Cheers

Hi Michaeil,

Here's the script..It's not working

<item name="temp">
<label>Temperature</label>
<textarea cols="40" rows="5" wrap="virtual"/>
</item>
<script><![CDATA[
IWDatacapture.setHighlightMode(true);
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/temp", "onItemChange", length);

function length(item) {
var string = myitem.getValue();
if (string.length > 200)
{
myItem.setValid(false);
alert("You have entered " + string.length + " characters, you can enter a maximum of ......");
}
else
{
myItem.setValid(true);
}
}
]]></script>

</ruleset>
</data-capture-requirements>
thanks!

Your function "length" accepts a parameter called "item". You then deal with an undefinted item called "myitem".

thanks! it works now.

another question..

I want to call my js somewhere.
I defined the whole path but it's not working.
<script location="template-type" src="/iwmnt/default/main/GlobalSources/AutoPartsAndAccessoriesTest/WORKAREA/development/templatedata/Includes/maxcharacter.js" />

thanks!

If you're using location="template-type", then I believe you want src="../../Includes/maxcharacter.js" (not sure if relative paths work here though, haven't tested it myself).
