Where does this documentation exists - I see people postings on this but do not see where I can find this in IBI documentation. I did a search on this and came up with nothing. I want to be able to create a HTML form with date boxes and have the ibiValidate validate these dates. What other routines are available for HTML forms? WebFocus 7.6.6 Oracle 10 Windows XP | ||

From what I can find the only documentation are 2 slides that were presented at the 2008 Summit they relate to maintain Maintain: New Enhancements IBIValidate Let Maintain validate your input field Three levels of validation: 0 – No (Default) 1 – Yes 2 – Required If left at 0, no validation occurs If set to 1, entered data must be in the correct format If set to 2, data must be entered and in the correct format The only other useful information regarding its use in WF is in the following post https://forums.informationbuilders.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/...1057331/m/7311082762 See the part by Bob Jude Ferrante. | ||

I saw that documentation but i'm really looking for where IBI has it documentated. According to what I read these functions are being used in PMF so they should be documentated and there might be several other IBI functions that might be very useful to the WebFOCUS programmer. So please let me know what documentation this can be found in - or is the documentation for IBI only (this should never be the case). Giving WebFOCUS programmers these functions greatly enhances your product. WebFocus 7.6.6 Oracle 10 Windows XP | |||

Jay, I work for the company and the item is not documented except for above. I would raise a case with IBI support | ||

The following is the best I can come up with. I worked with some very good people from the New York education staff to get this far, so they deserve most of the credit. Before you start, you must use a HTML FORM for the validation process to work. I have never been able to get this to work without one. 1) After you build the HTML page, you must edit it manually and add the 3rd argument to the following: var ibiOptions = new Array(cgipath,ibirls, "mntFormValidate"); This is suppose to add all the necessary JS files required for the ibiValidate to work. 2) Add the following method to the window_onload function: mntFormValidateOnloadFunc(); This will initialize the validate process. 3) Add the 'ibiValidation="1"' attribute and value to the INPUT objects you wish to validate, and ensure the ibiformat attribute is set to the appropriate format. 4) Now this is important: Once the ibiValiate does it's thing, it will never validate the ok'd object for the remainder of the screens history. So, if you may run a form more then once, add the mntFormValidateOnloadFunc();function call to the onSubmit event of the form (between the OnExecute and the return false). This will ensure that a potential second, third, etc. execution of the form will re-validate the INPUT object. Sample Fex: -* File z_ibiValidate_test.fex
-DEFAULT &COUNTRY = 'FOC_NONE'
-DEFAULT &SALES = 'FOC_NONE'
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
DEALER_COST
RETAIL_COST
SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL
BY BODYTYPE
WHERE COUNTRY EQ '&COUNTRY';
WHERE TOTAL SALES GE &SALES;
END
