Form + combotree

[rezzonico]

Hi all,

I have the following form:
http://195.144.40.170/AAA/index.html

When I hit "Submit" the message "This field is required" appears near the first field.
Now write a text in the first field and hit "Submit" again.
Near the second field doesn't appear the text "This field is required".
Why ?
The only difference is that the first field is a textbox and the second field is a combotree.

Any help is appreciated.
Regards.
Miche

Please try to set the 'editable' property to true for your combo tree component.

Hi Stworthy,

I have modified the code as suggested and it works.
Unfortunately now I have another problem ...
Now the user can edit the field and I want to avoid this ...

In other words the user must only be able to select the value from the combotree.

A readonly validatebox can not auto display the tip message when validating. If you really want to let it display the tip message, please try to override the $.fn.combotree.defaults.events.focus function.

Code:

$.fn.combotree.defaults.events.focus = function(e){
	var target = e.data.target;
	var state = $.data(target, 'validatebox');
	var box = $(target);
	// if ($(target).attr('readonly')){return;}
	state.validating = true;
	state.value = undefined;
	(function(){
		if (state.validating){
			if (state.value != box.val()){	// when box value changed, validate it
				state.value = box.val();
				if (state.timer){
					clearTimeout(state.timer);
				}
				state.timer = setTimeout(function(){
					$(target).validatebox('validate');
				}, state.options.delay);
			} else {
				if (state && state.tip){
					$(target).tooltip('reposition');
				}
			}
			setTimeout(arguments.callee, 200);
		}
	})();
}
