Hi,
I have non-required fields (mail, web address) with a validation script (if not empty).
But if they are not filled in (because not required) they remain active and require you to fill in the fields correctly !

how to make the validation script only work if the field is submitted
Thank's for your tips.

Hi,

I think this is not possible, validation field means that on submit if validation is not ok, then error message is there

Just to understand,
we can't use a validation formating script on a field that isn't required ?

Hi,

we can modify script with some javascript code, enable empty field for example.

I hope you understand what I am talking about

Yes I think that is a good idea

Something like that ?

function ff_valuenotemptyMailValid(element, message)
{
if (element.value!='') ff_validemail(element, message);
if (message=='') message = "Please enter "+element.name+".\n";
ff_validationFocus(element.name);
return message;
} // ff_valuenotemptyMailValid

Hi,

again, on submit if field is empty with this code you will see error message, and it means that field is required.
As I understand you want to enable empty field (not required field)

E.g. for email element field, please go to this element->Propertis->Validation->check Custom and put:With this code email will be checked, but it is not required field

Please replace nameofelement with name of element for email (not title)

If you need more help, let me know
