Rails - Mar 2007 - Schuerig's Client-Side Validation plugin & IE

I''d just about ''fallen in love'' with Michael
Schuerig''s Client-Side Validation plugin.  Until I tried it in
IE6&7.  It won''t activate the submit button once the fields on the
form are valid.  Works great in FF.  It''s just kick-a$$ in my opinion. 
Does exactly what I need it to do in FF.  I sure would like to use it.  But I
gotta serve at least IE6&7.  Anybody gotten it to work with IE?

Thanks!

The plugin, and the javascript in particular are *intended* to work in 
IE6 and newer. I''m using it myself in projects that target these 
browsers and it does work there *for me*. However, it is entirely 
possible, that you''ve stumbled upon a case that I didn''t test.

A few things I can think of to diagnose and correct what''s not working 
in your case.

- If you have originally created your app with an older version of 
Rails, make sure you''re update the JS files:
$ rake rails:update:javascripts

- In IE''s advanced(?) options, enable "Show Script Errors" or
whatever
it may be called in english. After that, when you edit your form in IE, 
do you get any error messages? Usually, they are pretty much useless, 
but at least indicate that something is wrong.

- The plugin has a sub-directory jstest containing the file 
validator_test.html. Open this file in IE. It runs several automatic 
tests of the client-side validator, including for enabling/disabling of 
submit buttons. (The README doesn''t state it (yet), but only submit 
buttons named "commit" are disabled/enabled; however, this
doesn''t
appear to be the problem as it would affect FF the same.)

HTH,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks much for your reply.  I appreciate it, and appreciate knowing that it 
is working for you.  My guess is that my problem is my usage.  I''ll try
your
suggestions and, at a minimum, if I can''t get it working I''ll
at least get a
succinct test case together.  Better yet, maybe I''ll figure out what
I''ve
screwed up ;-p

Thanks again,
Bill
