Preparing to Use Validation

To use validation, you must make sure the form_validator object is defined.

To prepare to use validation

1. Use a JavaScript editor to open the forms.js file.
2. Make sure the form_validator object is defined.

   To use validation, the forms.js file must include the following code near the start of the JavaScript function for that form:

   var validator = new
   form_helpers.form_validator(ctx.session, ctx.form);

   This code creates a form_validator object that you can use through the validator variable.
