> Hi
> I am back on it today,
>
> I added everything to ValidationTextBox (attached)
>
> Just trying to emphasize what we want to achieve here:
> 1. Blocking input keys which will cause the text box to be not a valid
> sub set
> (We rely on ValidationTextbox partial RegExp computing)
>
> 2. Automatic completion of place holders upon keying a non valid
> sequence which by adding the place holder will be a valid sequence.
> (Example: keying 020308 on a date text box will auto complete to 02/03/08)
>
> *_Not covered in this solution:_*
> 1. Actual place holders during input , aka have __/__/____ on date text
> box prior to data entry.
> 2. Paste events blocking since users sometimes copy more than needed use
> paste and then remove non valid characters
> - I can do a smart paste here if there will be demand for it - aka
> filtering the non valid characters.
> 3. In order to keep it simple the blocking validation only performs
> checks on the keyed text until the cursor and not ahead , this leaves
> place for users to change value ahead as they wish.
>
> This will leave the current validation mechanism for edge cases and non
> RegExp validations(Such as Range etc.)
>
> *_Automatic completion of place holders _*
> I basically added 2 things:
> 1. automatic parsing of the place holder characters during the the
> partial Regexp computing
> I am assuming place holders will be non alpha numeric single characters
> , the parsing was o.k. in all the widgets I checked and it parsed the
> place holder based on the regexp ,which means fully localized.
>
> 2. if there's more than 1 place holder character , I will try to check
> all of them ,if one of them fits it I will perform with it the auto
> completion.
>
> Now as of tests I would need guidelines of how to do it right:
> We can plan tests on dijit using the known widgets who has RegExp such
> as: Date , Time , Number & Currency.
> In addition we can provide Regexp like credit card , ISBN , SSN etc.
> I believe we need to test on the different browsers we intend to support
> in dojo 1.11.
