RE: [PEAR] QF 3.2 - regex throwing errors

Hi, Having attempted to switch to using addGroupRule() it seems to have caused more problems. The on-line manual exmaple is different from example7 in the archive. However I think I've implemented it the same.... $postcode[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('text', 'postcode', '', array('size' => '25', 'maxlength' => '10', 'tabindex' => 2)); $postcode[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('static', 'help', '', $this->language['L_HelpPostcode'], $helpButton)); $this->addGroup($postcode, 'postcodeGroup', $this->language['L_YourPostcode']); // --- Form field rules $this->addGroupRule('postcodeGroup', array('postcode' => array( array($this->language['L_RequirePostcode'], 'required', null, 'client'), array($this->language['L_InvalidPostcode'], 'regex', '/[a-zA-Z]{1,2}[0-9][0-9A-Za-z]{0,1} {0,1}[0-9][A-Za-z]{2}/', 'client') ))); Now the required field is not marked with an asteriks and no validation appears to be executed, client or server side. With regards to the validation and javascript on a group with a static element - it has been working since I started using QF so must have become broken with the new update. I need to get something up and working again ASAP, any help in solving my issues would be appreciated..

It says: "To validate a group as a whole, just use HTML_QuickForm::addRule(). All your elements will then be validated one after the other using the same rule." Your group has a static element, which causes problem if you use addRule(). You should use addGroupRule() and specify the rule only for your first element. Look at the example 7 in docs/ too. This is not a bug, but a misuse. I am surprised though that it was working before... Probably because group validation was still incomplete.
