Custom ValidationTextBox in Dojo - validation

I am new to Dojo programming and trying to create a ValidationTextBox for username input. I would like to have three criteria: 1. users can only input alphanumeric characters and 2. minimum length of a username is 6 character 3. this field is required
So far my input looks like:
<input name="username"
type="text"
id="username"
class="reqd1"
required="true"
trim="true"
lowercase="true"
promptMessage="Username"
invalidMessage="Please only enter alphanumeric characters."
maxlength="12"
regExp="[\w]+"
intermediateChanges="false"
dojoType="dijit.form.ValidationTextBox" />
I have three questions:
1. how I can check for the the minimum character of the username field?
2. Is there a way to change the invalidMessage programatically?
3. How I can check the length of the username field without using regEx?

regExp="\w{6,12}"
dijit.byId("username").set("invalidMessage", "new message");
I think regExp is the best way in your case

ASP Classic : Put a "variable" in a "Request.Form()"

I have a form that will send an array of data to an ASP page.
Let's say this array is called "matrix".
Usually, on the ASP receiving the form, I will write this out to retrieve the form inputs from the array "matrix".
Request.Form("matrix[]")(i) where i = 1, 2, 3 which are the elements in the array.
Let's say I want to do make a variable like this
a="matrix"
and I want to use this variable a and put it into the request form, instead of writing "matrix", so that it would look something like this
Request.Form(a[])(i)
How can it be done? For now, all my attempts are showing blank. e.g. when I try to make them appear on the page with response.write, nothing shows up.
Please help me or let me know if it cannot be done, I've been spending hours on this.
Request.Form("matrix[]") is taking a string value of "matrix[]" not an array of strings called "matrix".
So you need to do either
a = "matrix[]"
Request.Form(a)(i)
or
a = "matrix"
Request.Form(a & "[]")(i)
Unlike PHP which requires adding square brackets, in classic ASP you just have to give the same name to the elements you want to be combined into an array.
The HTML should be:
<input type="text" name="matrix" />
<input type="text" name="matrix" />
<input type="text" name="matrix" />
Then you can iterate over the submitted values like this:
For x=1 To Request.Form("matrix").Count
Response.Write("Value of matrix #" & CStr(x) & "is: " & Request.Form("matrix").Item(x))
Next
Note that all elements are included, even if user left them empty.

Regular Expression - How to validate price field if I enter below 30?

I have used pattern I want to price equal 30 or Greater BUT not less.
Look my html code -
<input type="text" required="required" pattern="29+\.[0-9]*[1-9][0-9]*$" data-error="#Please enter price equal 30 or more" placeholder="Price" id="price" class="form-control" autocomplete="off" name="price" />
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
Above co I have used pattern="29+\.[0-9]*[1-9][0-9]*$" but this pattern not working. I have tried in different expression like 29*\.[0-9]*[1-9][0-9]*$, ^\d{30,}$, ^[0-9]\{30,}\$ these expressions also not working.
I am using bootstrap validator. Link = http://1000hz.github.io/bootstrap-validator/#validator-examples
Please help me.
*Edit : *
Now I am using ^[3-9]+\d*$ this is working fine. But it takes 3 or more than 3. I need 30 or more
You really should not be using regexes for this kind of task. But if you do want to, try this:
([3-9][0-9]|[0-9]{3,})

XPATH required for an input text field?

i have a text box in my web application,Where i need to give input. I am trying to find the xpath of the text box. the following error is thrown.
Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"
HTML code:
<div class="input">
<input id="firstName" class="long" type="text" maxlength="50" value="" name="firstName
I want the xpath for firstName textbox.
//input[#type='text']
And this for generally targeting a text input (what I was after)
Try this one:
//input[#id='firstName']
Explanation:
// search on all levels
input for element nodes with the name of "input"
[#id='firstName'] having an attribute (#) with the name of "id" and a value of "firstName"
at least 3 simple ways to get this:
1)Driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//input[#id='firstName']"));
2)Driver.FindElement(By.Id("firstName"));
3)Driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("#firstName"));
//*[text()[contains(.,'firstName')]]
finding by text would always work.

get form values other than by name in codeigniter

hi i am using codeigniter . i have a form , there i add hidden fields dynamically . so every hidden field is <input type='hidden' name='hidden' value="+$(this).attr('title')+"> so the name is equal .
the problem is when i submit the form and try to get my hiden field values i can only get one hidden field value , because the names are same
i print my form values
print_r($this->input->post());
i have 2 hidden fields but i get only one
Array
(
[hidden] => march
[textbox] => march
[mysubmit] => Submit
)
i can change the name dynamically of hidden field when creating , but then i don't know exactly the name of my hidden field ,
how can i get hidden field values with same name ?? is there any way to get form values other than by name ?? i tried and can not find an answer , please help .............
You'll need to use brackets in your name attributes:
<input type='hidden' name='hidden[]'>
<!-- ^^^^ -->
This will allow PHP to accept multiple inputs with the same name as an array of values, so in this case, $_POST['hidden'] will return an array of strings.
By default they are indexed starting at 0, so $_POST['hidden'][0] will get you the first one, $_POST['hidden'][1] will get you the second, etc., however - you can explicitly index them if it's easier for you, either with numbers or strings.
<input type='hidden' name='hidden[first]'>
<input type='hidden' name='hidden[second]'>
Or:
<input type='hidden' name='hidden[0]'>
<input type='hidden' name='hidden[1]'>
You can nest these as deep as you want like hidden[first][1][], and they will be treated similarly to a PHP array when you get the $_POST values, but you need the brackets in the HTML.
Without brackets, only the last field's value will be available in the $_POST array. This is a PHP feature, Codeigniter can't do anything about it.

Validating input type number in html5

I want to restrict entry of input onto a field of type number such that input cannot be outside range of min-max specified in the html.
input type = "number" min = "1" max = "5"
Is there a way of outputting the number field without the text box and i would rather not use
"input type = range"
as slider does not show value currently selected
Please help.
Thanks.
Based on what you said, I suggest using a simple input text field and check it's value validity on submission via JavaScript (as #Kush mentions above). You could also check it as the user types, or moves focus away from that field.
<form>
Only 1 to 100 <input type="text" name="number" pattern="\d{1,2}(?!\d)|100" title="one to hundreed only">
<input type="submit">
</form>
