Working with HTML Forms
Your Web developer can customize validation options. For details, see the Ektron
CMS400.NET Developer’s Guide section “Customizing Validation.” However, the
file that maintains custom validation is different for HTML forms: it is siteroot/
workarea/ContentDesigner/ValidateSpace.xml.
Your system administrator determines if a user can save the invalid
data.
When the Custom Validation option is selected from the
Validation field, the Custom Validation screen area becomes
active.
• The Data Type field is the value’s basic type, for example, text,
number, or URL.
• The Condition field displays the validation logic.
• The Examples drop-down list shows validation expressions
that you can apply to the field.
Example of Creating Custom Validation
As an example of custom validation, assume that a field collects
telephone numbers, and you want to make sure the user enters 10
digits. To accomplish this, follow these steps.
1. Insert a Text Field.
2. Complete the Text Field dialog’s General tab.
3. Click the Validation tab.
4. In the Validation dropdown list, select (Custom).
