Step 6: File Maintenance Field Layout

Email and URL Input Validation

(Applicable when HTML Page check box is selected for Form Type)

To validate the input entered for a data dictionary field as either an email address or URL on a generated Webster+ HTML page, the data dictionary field must have a data class with a Class Name "Email" or "URL" (case insensitive) assigned to it.

To do this:

1.

Create a new data class definition in Data Class Definitions maintenance. For the Class Name, enter "Email" or "URL" (case insensitive).

2.

Then, assign the data class to the data dictionary field in Data Dictionary Maintenance (on the Elements tab).

(Email and URL input validation for generated Webster+ HTML pages was added in PxPlus 2021 Update 1.)
