datebox validation does not behave like validatebox

[eggbert]

With datebox the validation behaviour differs from validatebox.

For example, with a validatebox, the validation warning does not appear until the user clicks on the field. However, with datebox the validation warning shows up instantly when the form is loaded.

Secondly, when the form is submitted an invalid datebox does not even prevent the form from being submitted.

When call 'load' method to load form data, all the form fields will be validated. It is a way to indicate user if the data is valid.

You can write some code in 'onSubmit' event to determine if the form can be submitted.

Code:

$('#f').form('submit',{
	onSubmit:function(){
		return $(this).form('validate'); // prevent invalid data to be submitted
	},
	success:function(){
		//...
	}
});

I am having this problem too.

Can you recommend a solution?

The updated validatebox plugin is available from http://www.jeasyui.com/easyui/plugins/jquery.validatebox.js. Now all the validatebox will display validation warning when failed to validate.
