Hi!
I'm having some trouble with the programmatic creation ov a dijit.form.ValidationTextBox:
I'm currently wondering why this doesn't work:
var validationBox = new dijit.form.ValidationTextBox({
regExp: "[\w]+",
required: true,
invalidMessage: "regexp [\w]+ not fulfilled...."
},dojo.byId("tmpTagContainer"));
regExp: "[\w]+",
required: true,
invalidMessage: "regexp [\w]+ not fulfilled...."
},dojo.byId("tmpTagContainer"));
The problem seems to be the given Regular expression. The source file of the ValidationTextBox states, that the regular expression needs to be a string. The validation of the entered string always fails.
ValidationTextBox Demo
@import "../lib/dijit/themes/tundra/tundra.css";
@import "../lib/dojo/1.0.0/dojo/resources/dojo.css"
dojo.require("dojo.parser");
dojo.require("dijit.form.ValidationTextBox");
dojo.addOnLoad(function(){
var validationBox = new dijit.form.ValidationTextBox({
regExp: "[\w]+",
required: true,
invalidMessage: "regexp [\w]+ not fulfilled...."
},dojo.byId("tmpTagContainer"));
});
Whereas the html-inline creation by doing the following works:
<input id="q22" type="text" name="phone" class="medium" value="someTestString"
dojoType="dijit.form.ValidationTextBox"
regExp="[\w]+"
required="true"
invalidMessage="Invalid Non-Space Text.">
dojoType="dijit.form.ValidationTextBox"
regExp="[\w]+"
required="true"
invalidMessage="Invalid Non-Space Text.">

in your programatic example,
in your programatic example, the \w is getting parsed, so you need to escape the \ preceding the w so it gets sent to the widget.
var foo = new dijit.form.ValidatonTextBox({ regExp: "[\\w]+", ... }); foo.startup();worked for me.
Great!
