Function	Summary
gtUsrErrCnt	Analyze the form, and return the number of (user or value) errors detected.
initVF	This initializes validate_form.js, as if getFormErrorMsgs() were never called.

vf_gtUsrErrCnt.js: Overview

Analyzes a form's values, as provided by your users, and generates user-error messages as necessary.

TOP     vf_gtUsrErrCnt.gtUsrErrCnt()

Analyze the form, and return the number of (user or value) errors detected.

Error messages are stored in FLStats.sUsrErr. When FLStats.sUsrErr equals undefined, that elemnt's value is legal. Otherwise, FLStats.sUsrErr equals the specific error that should be presented to your user.

For example

Take this vf-configuration:

   f_orm.your_integer.sMsgRequired = 'Your integer is required.';
   f_orm.your_integer.sMsgTxtInt = 'Your integer must be between ~RANGE_MIN~ and ~RANGE_MAX~.';
      f_orm.your_integer.iIntMin = 8;
      f_orm.your_integer.iIntMax = 100;

...and say the value of your_integer is set to '6'. This is not in the defined range, so a_flStats[idx].sUsrErr is set to:

'Your integer must be between 8 and 100.'

TOP     vf_gtUsrErrCnt.initVF()

This initializes validate_form.js, as if getFormErrorMsgs() were never called.

This does the following:

   stAFLSvf(undefined, 'FORM NAME'); //For every form
   //utility.js
      bCrshd = false;
      sCrshCd = undefined;
      sCrshMsg = undefined;
      fCrsh = undefined;

Some reasons to call this function

• A validate_form.js attribute (like "sMsgRequired") has been added to/changed for/deleted from one of your form's elements.
• You've added a new option to a drop-down box (select-one) or changed the number of checkboxes/radio elements in a set.
• You've added or deleted an element from the form.

Some reasons that don't warrant a call to this function

• Changing values within a form, as your user will definitely do.
