Select option values
Hey guys
I'm find a problem with this:
<perch:input type="select" id="service_due" options="Select|,January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December" class="required" />
I'm looking to have the first option with an empty value attribute on the first option. Perch doesn't output the value attribute at all, so 'required' validation fails with https://jqueryvalidation.org/validate/. Adding in value="" solves that issue.
How can we do that?
Thanks
No
valueattribute andvalue=""are semantically equivalent. When you say that required validation fails, do you mean it passes it as having a value when no value is set?Hi, Drew.
Yep I get that, but unfortunately the script plugin we use doesn't evaluate correctly. Is there a way to force the output of that empty attribute value?
I don't think so currently.
Can we hardcode the select menu and still have it picked up by the Forms add-on on submission?
Hmmm... I've tried and it appears not.
In the end I just extended the validation script so all sorted.
