I am wanting to limit the quantities input on a form I have populated from the database. Each input box is named frmQty[ItemID], this allows me to insert all the inputs into another table. Thanks to pauldes this works like a charm.

http://dnn.bi4ce.com/Support/Forums/tabid/106/forumid/18/postid/9616/view/topic/Default.aspx

What would be the best way to handle this?

Item Quantity
--------------------
Item1 3
Item2 0
Item3 5
Item4 4
-----
12

I need a way to limit the qty to 10. Is there a way for validation to count the inputs and display a message box stating you have exceeded the maximum quantity?

Thanks,
James

Hi James,

I think you can do this using JavaScript and the <span> tag- "CustomValidatorEvaluateIsValid"

The following <span> tag goes into your footer.

<span id="vQty"
controltovalidate="frmQty[Item]"
errormessage="Limit quantity"
display="Dynamic"
group = "YourGroup"
evaluationfunction = "CustomValidatorEvaluateIsValid",
clientvalidationfunction = "LimitQty",
initialvalue="" class="mystarHidden">Limit quantity
</span>

And your JS function has to check the sum of the values of the <input> fields..

Hope this helps

Thanks,
Sindura

Well, not being much of a js guru, I would do this in your actions and sum the form field values, then IF sum of your action execute is greater than your threshold, set and action variable to an error message and display on the screen.
ListX....makes you look brilliant, even though you're not.
