Validation of drop down by index field

[Former Member]

Dear friends

want to validate a field ( drop down by index ) which has 5  values, suppose user enters wrong value by mistake it should throw an error

for eg

the valid values are

'AAA'

'BBB'

'CCC'

'DDD'

'EEE'           

suppose user enters 'XYZ' it should throw an error

how to do validation in this scenario

Thanks

Hi Vijaya Laxmi,

Is validation of your DropDownByIndex ui field really required?

I don't see any need for this as user cannot enter his own data into this field as it is already having its own set of list.

Hope I have understood your requirement properly.

As its not accepting any user entry data, no need of doing validation against this field.

Hi Ram

Thanks for your reply,

yes i know that user will select values from drop down , if by mistake user enters  some wrong value in drop down and then click Submit button, then i should display some error message

Hi Vijaya,

There is no chance that user can enter some wrong value of his own. He/she can choose a value from the drop down list.

Example:

Let us say you have set the values to drop down list as below

'AAA'

'BBB'

'CCC'

'DDD'

'EEE'   

Now, user cannot be able to give any input other than the above list. Hence there is not chance of getting wrong entries in that.

I can think of validation on this field is a Mandatory field check ...

Hope I am clear.

Hi Vijaya,

Could you please open  a new question for this as your requirement is not relevant to the title of this question.

if some one finds this thread and the answer will be for some other requirement. It may confuse them.

Hope you understand.
