Default theme. In preview mode. (I've also tried it on a web server).</p> <p>If "Output HTML5" is checked, and I enter into a required Number field then the error message displayed is "This field is required".</p> <p>If the number field is not required then it will successfully submit the form but the number field will be blank.</p> <p>This is using a form with paging, if that makes any difference.</p> <p>Please advise! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/number-field-validation#post-292614 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:46:03 +0000 David Peralty 292614@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I just tested this on multiple installs, and when I have Output HTML5 turned on and put a non number in a number field, I get a message saying that the field needs to be a number. Are you using the latest versions of Gravity Forms and WordPress? Can you test your issue in Form Preview? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/number-field-validation#post-291726 Fri, 31 May 2013 04:11:03 +0000 Shaun 291726@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>David, sorry for bumping this again but it is a big issue with the plugin have you taken a look at this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/number-field-validation#post-270126 Thu, 23 May 2013 06:16:10 +0000 Shaun 270126@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi David, have you found a fix for this yet? It is quite important to us. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/number-field-validation#post-253753 Wed, 15 May 2013 04:30:50 +0000 Shaun 253753@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've found a way to replicate the problem on a new site. The setting "Output HTML5" needs to be enabled. This causes a submitted Number field with non-numbers in to go blank.</p> <p>Is there a fix for this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/number-field-validation#post-252885 Tue, 14 May 2013 12:56:23 +0000 David Peralty 252885@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Let us know... It will be hard to help without seeing the issue though. All my best! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/number-field-validation#post-252882 Tue, 14 May 2013 12:49:59 +0000 Shaun 252882@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I cannot link to the form as it's not a live site. I am using most recent versions of both, so I will try disabling plugins and see if that helps. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/number-field-validation#post-252876 Tue, 14 May 2013 12:44:18 +0000 David Peralty 252876@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you link to your form please? Are you using a number field? It should provide an error when a non-number is entered. Are you using the latest Gravity Forms and WordPress versions? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/number-field-validation#post-252861 Tue, 14 May 2013 12:30:39 +0000 Shaun 252861@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am having trouble with the number field validation - if you enter "£100" instead of "100" then the form will leave that field blank!</p> <p>I can stop it from letting it through blank by making it a required field, but then the validation error message "This field is required" is not helpful at all, as people may try entering "£100" in again.</p> <p>Ideally if you enter "£100" I'd have some javascript strip out the £ sign, I will look into doing that, but is there any way to change the error message to "Please enter a number"? </p>
