Checkbox HTML5 validation #173

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. make a checkbox group with 2 options which requires validation
2. try to submit the form without checking both checkboxes

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should let me submit with 1 or 2 checked, and fail with 0 checked.
It actually fails on 0 and 1 checked and only allows 2 checked

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
3.0 5.3

Thanks for the bug report.  I was able to recreate this issue and be providing

Which web browser are you using?  In Firefox on Mac, the required HTML5 
attribute applies validation to each checkbox in the group - meaning you would 
get an error if any of the checkboxes were left unchecked.

With radio buttons, the required attribute applies to the group and not each 
radio button - meaning you would get an error only if all radio button were 
left unchecked.

Are you seeing the same behavior in your browser?

The fix for this issue is to edit PFBC/Element/Checkbox.php.  Near the bottom 
of the render method, you'll see a line within the for loop echoing each 
option's label and input tag.  In that line, the getAttributes method is 
called.  That method call currently look like this...

$this->getAttributes(array("id", "value", "checked"))

You need to update it to include "required" in the array.  The final result 
looks like this...

$this->getAttributes(array("id", "value", "checked", "required"))

This will prevent the required HTML5 attribute from being added to the input 
tag.

And then pfbc will validate correctly server side right?

Yep, you got it.  The latest revision (r570) contains a fix for this bug.  So, 
if you don't want to manually edit the source, you can just export the 
project's trunk with...

svn export http://php-form-builder-class.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ 
pfbc3.0-php5.3
