Property Detail

class: Same as the class property in HTML standard. One or more classes defined in the CSS file or in the style block can be applied (through the use of the space as the separator).
WebSquare5 Engine applies different classes to different components. By defining a common class, the common class can be applied to multiple components.

displaymessage: [default:false, true] Displays the result message upon a validation failure by the validation API.
Displays the result message upon a validation failure by the validation API. Define a customized message using the invalidMessageFunc property.
focusRemember: [false, true] Moves the cursor to the focused position on IE9 or lower versions.
(The newer version browsers remember the cursor position of the previous focus.)
id: ID of the component. Allocated as a global object. Scripts access the component through the ID.
invalidMessage: A message displayed upon failure of the validation API. The displaymessage property must be true.
Cannot be used with invalidMessageFunc at the same time.
invalidMessageFunc: Name of the function that dynamically displays messages upon a validation failure by the validation API.
The displaymessage property must be true. Cannot be used with invalidMessage at the same time.
The customized function (in the following example) gets the type of the value through this.getType() and the value through this.getValue(), and returns the dynamically created message through the use of the type and the value.
type) mandatory, minLength, maxLength, minByteLength, maxByteLength
(Example) function fn_msg(){ var tmpType = this.getType(); var tmpValue = this.getValue(); if(tmpType == "mandatory"){ return "Required."; } }
mandatory: [default:false, true] Whether to check the mandatory input or not when calling the validation API.
maxByteLength: Maximum input length in bytes. The exceeding characters will be automatically cut.
The value of the maxLength or the value of this property whichever is smaller will be applied.
If the byteCheckEncoding is euc-kr in config.xml, one Korean character will be counted as two bytes. In case of utf-8, it will be counted as three bytes.
maxlength: Maximum input length. Exceeding characters will be automatically cut.
The value of the maxByteLength or the value of this property whichever is smaller will be applied.
minByteLength: Checks the minimum byte length upon calling of the validation API.
If the byteCheckEncoding is euc-kr in config.xml, one Korean character will be counted as two bytes. In case of utf-8, it will be counted as three bytes.
minlength: Checks the minimum length upon calling of the validation API.
