Need to reset form fields

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to reset my form fields. I had achived this previously when my fields were normal "input" type fields.

But I am unable to do so after I changed my fields to the hbj:input types.

I have written the following code:

function resetFields(){

alert("inside reset");

var funName = htmlb_formid+"_getHtmlbElementId";

fun = window[funName];

var inputField1 = eval(fun("contFnameField"));

var inputString1 = inputField1.getValue().toString();

if(inputString1 !=null)

{

contFnameField.setValue("");

}

}

This gives me an error.

How can I achieve this?

Also I have a text area in my form. So I cannot specify "jsObjectneeded = true" for this textarea field of mine. How can i perform validations on this field before form submit.

I have one more query-- I find that when I click on submit button on the page, It does not invoke the associated controller.

The button code is -

<hbj:button							id = "Contactus"
	text = "SUBMIT" 
	disabled = "false" 	
	onClientClick="validateFields()"			onClick = "SendMail"	
	design="STANDARD" 
	/>

I find that validateFields() is invoked, but SendMail() in my controller is not invoked.

Please give me your views on this.

Hi Ashwini,

I think it should be

inputField1.setValue(""); instead of contFnameField.setValue("");

There should be some log if onClick event of button is not called though it doesn't give any exception. Check that out.

Thanks harini,

Any idea how validation can be imposed for text area field?

Hi Ashwini,

textarea comes as html tag and not as htmlb tag. So may be u can get its id in normal way. Not sure of this but check out.

Sorry Harini,

My mistake.. I am not using the text area tag.. but the "textEdit" tag..

Hi Ashwini,

I just checked out. I think it isn't possible to do client side validation for textEdit. Only server side validation is possible.

Refer to Javascript API.

Client side validation can be done to the components mentioned in this only.
