FP2000: Field Validation Uses Scripting If Scripting is Disabled In Page Properties

• Microsoft FrontPage 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you set the browser compatibility to not allow VBscript or JavaScript, and you have form field validation on a page, JavaScript or VBscript is still used to validate the form field.

CAUSE

The method of form field validation is not affected by the compatibility dialog box. Form field validation is a web-wide setting, it is set in the Web Settings dialog box, not in the Page Properties dialog box.

In the Web Settings dialog box, the default client language is specified as a scripting language (either VBscript or JavaScript).

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Open the web that contains the page that uses form field validation.



2. On the Tools menu, click Web Settings.



3. Click the Advanced Tab.



4. Under default scripting language, select <None> from the Client list.



5. Click OK.



6. If you are prompted to recalculate hyperlinks, click Yes.
