[CLOSED] Trying to flag a form as invalid

[ewgoforth]

Hello,

In my client script I'm trying to mark the containing form of a field invalid with Javascript similar to the following:

var showResultText = function (btn, text) {

    var myUserName, msg, myUserNameField, myParent, invalidUserIdMsg, formId;

    if (btn === "ok") {
        //Do something else
    } else {
        invalidUserIdMsg = "invalid user";
        myUserNameField = eval("ContentPH_txtUserName");
        myUserNameField.markInvalid(invalidUserIdMsg);
        formId = _frmMain.id;
        _frmMain.getForm().markInvalid({ formId : invalidUserIdMsg});
    }
}

So the txtUserName gets set as invalid, and that works as expected. I'm not having any luck setting the form as invalid. If I do a _frmMain.getForm().isValid() right after the markInvalid, it says "true."

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

Please read the doc article about .markInvalid().
http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-3.3...er=markInvalid

Now you should know that .markInvalid() just marks a field as invalid, not makes it really invalid.

To make a field invalid you can use .validator.

field.validator = function () { return false; }

The call .isValid().

To make it valid:

field.validator = null;
