error validating multi-select (selected index -1)
In the validationFunction there is an acces on element index -1 if nothing is select on
a multi select box.
var value = (this.elementType == LiveValidation.SELECT) ? this.element.options[this.element.selectedIndex].value : this.element.value;
changing this two lines to one line like this works fine in all cases:
var value = this.element.value;
but maybe the extrawork was done for other browsers (tested this on firefox 3.6.10) so the following will fix the issue and will be 100% compatible with the old code
var value = '';
if(this.elementType == LiveValidation.SELECT){
if(this.element.selectedIndex >= 0){
value = this.element.options[this.element.selectedIndex].value
}
}else{
value = this.element.value;
}
+1. This is an easy fix. Hard to imagine that it is 3 years old. It is the only thing preventing the use of multiselect with LiveValidation. I'm running my own patched version of this right now and it works well.
