Notes to self:
(1) this only applies to preg-related validation. None of the other validation types are sub-question specific (e.g. although we can set the min/max sum value or number of answers, we don't set the min/max value for each item within a multiple-numerical question type
(2) Long-term, might want to refactor so that any questions with validation call a question-specific validation function rather than re-assessing all validation within the main EM javascript. However, since there are currently no major performance issues, this should wait.
(3) Long-term (short too?) should make LEMvarNameAttr include
(a) valid attribute, which is false if invalid. This should be read/write within a page to determine whether the question is valid. This doesn't need to be a hidden field, since EM will re-validate the question on submit
(b) validationMsg attribute - this would hold the validation message, like "the sum of the answers must be between 10 and 20". Having it available in JavaScript would let us more dynamically show/hide the validation message, and include that information within custom reports. For example, on any given page, if people started to enter information on question 5, but a question before #5 was invalid, we could make the validation message appear.
(c) mandatoryMsg attribute - like valdidationMsg, would hold the text of the mandatory message.
(d) subqValid array - this would show 1/0 (true/false) whether each sub-question is valid - could be used to customize how sub-question invalid responses are displayed (e.g. set the background color for a text entry field to red). |

More notes to self:
(1) To show/hide background color as red use this, adapted to using the
$('#question902 :input').css("background-color","red")
$('#question902 :input').css("background-color","")
(2) for sub-questions:
(a) Types Q, K:
$('#answer82556X15X147p').css("background-color","red")
(b) Types N, S, T, U
$('#question902 :input').css("background-color","red")
(c) Types :, ;
$('#answer82556X15X151sq3_2').css("background-color","red") |
