5. Depending on the validation method of the form (see "Changing a Form's validation
method" on page692) and the type of element there are a number of options to set under
Validation. With Browser validation you can only make a field required and set a
maximum length.
l
Required: Check if the field is required to submit the form. If a field is required but
contains no data, a message will be shown to the user.
l
Minimum and maximum length: Enter a numerical value for the minimum and
maximum character length required for this field.
l
Equal to: Use the drop-down to select another field that is already added to the
same Form. The contents of both fields must match for the data to be validated. This
is useful for confirmation fields such as for passwords, email addresses etc.
6.
Under Warnings, type the message that will be displayed to the user if the input is not
valid.
The name attribute of Form elements is sent to the server (together with the input value) after
the form has been submitted. When adding an element to a Form or Fieldset, you cannot
specify a name; the ID will be copied to the element's name attribute. After adding the element to
the Form or Fieldset you can change the name on the Attributes pane.
Adding new HTML5 elements
HTML5 added several new input element types that can't be found in the Designer menu. To
add such an element to a template you can do the following:
1. Add an input element from the menu, for example a Text or Button.
2. Select the element in the template.
3.
On the Attributes pane, select the desired input type from the Type drop-down list.
Changing a form element
Once an element has been added to a Form, it can easily be changed: simply select the
element in the template, go to the the Attributes pane, and edit the element. An input element
can even be changed to another type of input element by selecting the desired input type from
the Type drop-down list.
