You can use the validation.js script we have talked about before:

Or use Jquery validate.

The module does not yet contain built in validation.

Okay - was not sure I could use the "usual" script, but it helps me some of the way - the only thing is where to in input the "validate values" if fx "integer" or "email" is needed for a certain field? Maybe it's me who's blind, but I can't find fields for this??

Hi Lise

You have to add it to the template or you can add a hidden field to the form with a validation value.

Hi again, Nicolai (and others)

I've just upgraded to DW8.8, and the html5-validation saved me, and seems to work perfekt.

I have only one problem so far - I use the "number" validation for phonenumbers, but the maxlength of 8 caracters need to be outputted in another way than the template does, the control "maxlenght" is not useful here. How do I change it in the cshtml template, to make it work - as far as I can see, it must be this way instead: <input type="number" name="telefon" max="8">

I have also tried the type "tel" but found out it was only working in Safari so far...

That is a bug, just fixed and ready for 8.8.1

Untill then you can do like this (snip from the default template with yellow as add-on):

@foreach (LoopItem field in GetLoop("Fields"))
                {
                    int fieldId = field.GetInteger("Field.ID");
                    string fieldHtmlId = field.GetString("Field.HtmlId");
                    string fieldName = field.GetString("Field.Name");
                    string fieldControl = field.GetString("Field.Control");
                    string fieldDescription = field.GetString("Field.Description");
                    bool fieldIsButton = field.GetBoolean("Field.IsButton");
                    bool fieldIsOther = field.GetBoolean("Field.IsOther");
                    bool fieldRequired = field.GetBoolean("Field.Required");
                    string fieldType = field.GetString("Field.Type");
                    if(fieldType == ""){
                        fieldControl = fieldControl.Replace("maxlength", "max");
                    }

Unfortunately, I get this error:

Line 85: The name 'fieldType' does not exist in the current context

Do you think I need a newer version of the default template - mine is from february?

Did you copy over the first line of Nicolai's highlighted code? That's where fieldType gets declared.

My mistake - I did some tests and copy-pasted the code a couple of times - and the line was disappeared, suddenly! Thank you!
