Hi Friends,
I am a newbie on ROR, I made a authentication page for login. Now For
Validation at client side I want Javascript to be used.
Does Rails support client side vaildation as for server side methods are
already available?
Regards
HUNT
Rails obviously support client side validation. all you need is to put
onsubmit event on whatever the form syntax you are using. below is an
example:
<% form_tag ({:action => “new”}, {:onsubmit => “return validate();”}) %>
then your basic javascript goes like:
function validate(){
if(document.getElementById(‘some_id’)==“”)
alert(“specify first name”);
}

Thanks Puneet,
WHere this validate function is embedded in index.html.erb?
Any reference for the same is a great hint.

I put the code but the result coming is that no action is performed on
click the button.
I haven’t found relevant information in google.
You can put it anywhere… in the index.html.erb or in layouts or in some
external javascript… in third case make sure that you are calling that
javascript like

Ideally, javascript should be kept in head section of html, and for this
you
can use content_for tag. Read more about here:

Dude your javascript is not getting loaded when your submit button is
pressed… look carefully when you are calling javascript… try to alert
some
text to see what’s going wrong there

Error says it all: you do not have “create” action in your controller.
Add it, it’s not a javascript issue anymore.

I haven’t created any action in the controller…
Interestingly, the browser apparently can load the page quicker if
javascript is at the bottom.

That’s a bizarre set of recommendations, especially given that Doug
Crockford, Yahoo!'s own JS architect, recommends that JS not be mixed in
with HTML at all.

Other than one specific case of a certain kind of landing page, I
don’t see a recommendation there to mix javascript and html.
They recommend combining multiple script resources into one, minifying
etc.
I take putting the javascript at the bottom as putting the script tags
referencing the separate script resource(s) at the bottom not inlining
javascript in the page.
