For example, you can just set e-mail as no duplicates so that someone can only submit one entry per e-mail address, or you can have all fields as no duplicates making each field as a "must be unique" call. Each field is tested independently though. So it doesn't take other fields into consideration. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-entry-validation-and-auto-jump-to-next-field#post-60527 Mon, 28 May 2012 09:56:45 +0000 broraxel 60527@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you for your quick response!</p> <p>Do you add the no-duplicates to one of the fields in the form, or to the submit-button? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-entry-validation-and-auto-jump-to-next-field#post-60519 Mon, 28 May 2012 08:41:58 +0000 David Peralty 60519@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That is correct, a field is not correct until it matches the predefined mask. There also is a hook to do custom validation on fields. </p> <p>Your last two questions are not built-in, but they are JavaScript customizations that can be developed by yourself or a competent JS developer. You can also have a field be no-duplicates thus helping solve the double click on submit creating two copies of data. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-entry-validation-and-auto-jump-to-next-field#post-60501 Mon, 28 May 2012 05:19:40 +0000 broraxel 60501@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've already found the answer to my question regarding validating the contents of a field and there seems to be plenty of ways to go about this. I love the mask function! One question remains though: From what I can gather, the form will not be submitted until the entries match the predefined mask?</p> <p>My next question is if there's a function that auto skips to the next field when a field reaches it's max number of characters. (i.e. if there are multiple fields for phone number, i'd like the cursor/marker to skip to the next field). Is there such a function or can this be added by some custom tweaking?</p> <p>Last but not least I would like the submit-button to be deactivated once it's been hit, to prevent the form being sent multiple times (people these days are too impatient). </p> <p>Anyone who can help me out with these questions?</p> <p>Thanks in advance<br /> Axel </p>
