stored in the data-custom-message attribute of the Form element, for example:
<input id="email1" name="email1" data-custom-message="Enter a valid email address."
type="email" required="">
Validation in Connect 1.0.0
In Connect 1.0.0, the validation method of the template was stored using the names "standard"
and "custom". Standard has changed to "browser" and custom is now "jquery-validation".
When you open a template made with that version of the software, the template will be migrated
to use the new attribute values for the data-validation-method attribute of the <form> element.
The JavaScript file web-form-validation.js will not be migrated: delete that file and then change
the Form's validation method to jQuery Validation, as described above. When you click OK, the
new version of the web-form-validation.js file will be added.
Submitting a Form
When a form is submitted, by clicking or touching the Submit button, the name and value of
form elements are sent to the address that is specified in the Form's action (see "Adding a
Form" on page473 or "Changing a Form's properties" on page475). If the name attribute is
omitted, the data of that input field will not be sent at all.
The Form's validation should ensure that the data that the user submits is valid.
Using Form elements
Web Form elements can be used in a Web Form or in a Capture OnTheGo Form (see "Forms"
on page619 and "Capture OnTheGo" on page487). This topic explains how to add these
elements to a Form and how to prepare them so that when the Form is submitted, they provide
valid data that can be handled easily.
For a list of Form elements, see "Form Elements" on page624.
For a list of the extra elements that can be used in a Capture OnTheGo form, see "COTG
Elements" on page611.
Adding elements to a Form
To add an element to a Form or Fieldset, click inside the Form or Fieldset, select Insert > Form
elements, and choose the respective element on the menu. (When the element isn't available
via the menu, see the tip below.) Now you can change the element's settings:
