PHPRunner General questions

I'm trying to make an add screen that takes date (using the build in picker) and then a field for time.
I need to allow the user to type

1:00PM or 13:00
Then have a javascript validate it on enter to format it as mysql needs it.
I've tried several things but can't seem to find where to put the validation.

Kelly,
unfortunatelly PHPRunner doesn't support validation for TIME fields now.
However you can add your javascript code to unsubmitevent handler of editform form on Edit and Add pages.

Ok, I found the onsubmit portion.

<form name="editform" encType="multipart/form-data" method="post" action=data_add.php onSubmit=" return validate();">
Are you saying that I should now update the validate() method to do this?

I think rather than on submit I'd like to tie the onblur event from the particular form field to a Javascript I have created. I'm not seeing were I do that part in the code.
I assume it's in my add page but not really seeing where.

Hi,
<input> element is created by BuildEditControl in include\..._finctions.php file.

Here is the snippet you can modify. Please see my changes in bold

if($format==EDIT_FORMAT_TEXT_FIELD)

{

    if("timefield"==$field)

        return '<input type="text" name="value'.$ifield.'" '.GetEditParams($field).' value="'.htmlspecialchars($value).'" onblur="return testtime(this.value);">';

    if(IsDateFieldType($type))

        return '<input type="hidden" name="type'.$ifield.'" value="date'.DateEditType($field).'">'.GetDateEdit($field,$value,0,$ifield,$edit);

    return '<input type="text" name="value'.$ifield.'" '.GetEditParams($field).' value="'.htmlspecialchars($value).'">';

}


where timefield is your field name and testtime is your validation function

Great, that make perfect sense. Thanks for the kickstart shouldn't be any problem from there.
