Server side validation - valid on keyup

[AMunkAT]

Hi,

I noticed following strange behavior of the validator.
See example form of security validators:
http://formvalidator.net/index.html#security-validators_backend

Campaign Code:
type in for example "test", leave the input - validation shows an error - correct
now type in something else - while typing the validation shows that the input is valid - when leaving the input, the server validation will be initiated and the correct result, an error, is shown

Users may be confused, when the validator shows that the input is correct while typing.

I tried to create my own validator by copying and editing the security.dev.js "server" validator because I need additional parameters for validation

Thank you for your help!

This seems to been fixed since sometime ago but it's not available in any stable release. Like you point out it would also be good to add paramaters to the server request somehow. Will look into it.

It's now possible to pass parameters along with the server request via the form element. Example:

<p>
  <strong>Lorem te ipsum</strong>
  <input type="text" name="test" 
         data-validation="server"
         data-validation-req-params='{"var":"val","other_var":998}'
         data-validation-url="/validate-something" />
</p>

Doing it with javascript could look somehting like:

var params = {var:'value'};
$('.server-validator').attr('data-validation-req-params', JSON.stringify(params));
