Specify a validation type and format
You can specify many different validation types, formats, and other options for the Validation Text Field widget. For
example, you can specify a credit card validation type if the text field will receive credit card numbers.
You specify validation types, formats, and other options as parameters in the widget constructor. The first parameter
in the constructor is the widget container ID, followed by a second parameter (the validation-type parameter), and
optionally, a third parameter. The third parameter is a JavaScript array of options that depends on the validation type
set in the second parameter. Thus, you cannot set the third parameter without setting the second.
Note: In cases where you want to set the third parameter, but no validation type is required, you can set the validation
type to "none".
The following code shows the generic syntax for a Text Field widget constructor with various parameters:
var sprytextfield1= new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("WidgetContainerID",
"ValidationType", {option1:"value1", option2:"value2", ..});
Validation type options
Most validation types cause the text field to expect a standard format. For example, if you apply the integer validation
type to a text field, the widget won’t validate unless the user enters numbers in the text field. Some validation types,
however, let you choose the kind of format your text field will accept.
The following table lists the available validation types and their formats.
