First:I know, that there is an example on the formvalidation.io-website with a table with 5 rows and they are validated at one time with the submit-button - but that's not what I want.
My goal is:I have an table with unknown number of rows. Each row has two input fields "Name" and "Description". With focusout-event I want to validate only the fields in the row which formerly had the focus. I have no idea how to realise that. But I'm sure that I'm not the first who want's to do that.
Thank you for your answers!

what should i do
Here, use this JavaScript code to clear out all of your tags that have an error class.
<script>
function clearErrors() {
var form = document.getElementById('myform').querySelectorAll('span.Error');
for (i=0; i<=form.length; i++) {
form[i].innerText = '';
}
}
</script>

Did you try to hide the elements with the class 'error' with jQuery by clicking on the reset button ?
Another method is to change the reset button with an empty href. By clicking on the button it will refresh the page and the form I guess.
Am getting the below error:
stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document.
When I select a country from the country dropdown the page gets refreshed since we have used 'onchange' attribute, so when i try to locate rest of the fields in the form its throwing me the stated exception.
Note: I have cross verified the locators before and after the page gets loaded,
there is no change in it as most of the locators used are id's.
Here is my HTML,

I have tried the following solutions,
new WebDriverWait(driver, 500)
.ignoring(StaleElementReferenceException.class)
.until(new Predicate<WebDriver>() {
public boolean apply(#Nullable WebDriver driver) {
Select selectLanguage;
try {
selectLanguage = new Select(getWebElement("apj.newdoa.language"));
selectLanguage.selectByValue("EN");
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return true;
}
});
2nd Solution,
Wait<WebDriver> wait = new FluentWait<WebDriver>(driver)
.withTimeout( 120, TimeUnit.SECONDS )
.pollingEvery( 20, TimeUnit.SECONDS )
.ignoring( NoSuchElementException.class, StaleElementReferenceException.class );
// using a customized expected condition
Select foo1 = wait.until(new Function<WebDriver, Select>() {
Select selectLanguage;
public Select apply(WebDriver driver) {
try {
selectLanguage = new Select(getWebElement("apj.newdoa.language"));
logger.info("Value of Option:\t" +selectLanguage.toString());
return selectLanguage = new Select(getWebElement("apj.newdoa.language"));
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return selectLanguage;
}
});
foo1.selectByValue("EN");

I am using spring 3 JSP tab lib to generate HTML. I have a select box with following code -
<form:select path="categoryList" multiple="false">
<form:option value="" label="--" selected="selected"/>
<form:options items="${categoryList}" itemValue="catId" itemLabel="catName"/>
</form:select>
HTML getting generated is -
<select id="categoryList" name="categoryList">
<option selected="selected" value="">--</option>
<option value="1" selected="selected">S</option>
<option value="2" selected="selected">Ster</option>
<option value="3" selected="selected">ice</option>
<option value="4" selected="selected">Cees</option>
</select>
Issue is all options getting generated has selected="selected" which makes "Cees" selected on page rather then "--". Can someone please let me know ohw to fix this?

Try removing the selected=selected on your first item. I don't think its necessary as the list will display in the order you specified - unless you want -- to be the default selection if the form is submitted without this select being touched?
Try this:
<form:select path="categoryList" multiple="single">
<form:option value="" label="--"/>
<form:options items="${categoryList}" itemValue="catId" itemLabel="catName"/>
</form:select>
I've only changed the multiple attribute and removed the selected attribute from the option. This works for me...and i think, must also work for you.
edit:
It seems to be okay, only your last <tr> is wrong...you have two <td> in a row, without </td>
<tr>
<td>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="button" id="peSave" name="proeSave" value="Submit" onClick="editSaveProduct();"/>
</td>
<input type="text" id="peId"/>
</td>
</tr>
must be something like
<tr>
<td>
<input type="button" id="peSave" name="proeSave" value="Submit" onClick="editSaveProduct();"/>
</td>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="text" id="peId"/>
</td>
</tr>
Second, why are you using c:out? You can replace <td><c:out value="${categoryListVO.catName}" /></td> with <td>${categoryListVO.catName}</td>...
Third - this construction
<td><c:if test="${productListVO.fActive}">Yes</c:if>
<c:if test="${!productListVO.fActive}">No</c:if></td>
can you replace with
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${productListVO.fActive}">
Yes
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
No
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
I find this way better...the rest seems to be okay, i can't find anything, what can cause the problem. Search for other not properly closed tags. Is there any warnings/messages from the jsp editor?
I had this problem, and after a lot of digging around in Spring I found what was causing it for me. It was something very specific in my case but there is a general point, which is this.
Spring goes to a great deal of trouble to try to work out what the selected option should be. I started digging around in the OptionWriter and then moved down into the SelectedValueComparator. This tries all manner of comparisons to work out if the current option value should be selected. In the end it falls back to the Propertyeditors and Converters (which is where my mistake was).
So I wonder if your CategoryList class had a badly implemented equals method or a converter that doesn't convert properly (mine always converted into the same object)?
I have this form
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1">
<tr>
<td width="32%" valign="top"> <strong class="main_title">Select Category: </strong></td>
<td width="68%" valign="top" class=""><? $qu="SELECT `id`,`name` FROM `linkvideos_category` WHERE `status` = '1'"; $rs=$Q($qu); ?>
<select name="category" class="blacktext" >
<option>Choose Category</option>
<? while($dis=$F($rs)) { ?>
<option value="<?=$dis['id']?>"> <?=$dis['name'];?></option>
<? } ?>
</select></td>

</form>
and i'm verifying the captcha with this
$resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($private_key,
$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
$_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
$_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);
if (!$resp->is_valid) {
$error = 3;
echo"<script>window.location='submit_linkvideo.php?error=3';</script>";
}
and every time it's telling me the captchas invalid and saying incorrect-captcha-sol, am I missing something? I've tested it and the recaptcha values arn't being submitted.
Fixed it by ending a table before the form then starting the table again once inside the form.
