Can somebody inform me how the Validation works in the new send form action in version 6?

how the Validation works in the new send form action
Select the field that you want to be required and under the 3rd Tab in the inspector there is a ‘required’ check box.
Enabling that uses the error handling in the form processor to send your visitor to the error page.

I just had a quick tour through the code generated by this Action. It appears to use the same trigger as Tim’s PHP Feedback Form Action, although the internals are considerably different. To validate a field as email, simply use it as the sender address. I don’t see any other way to trigger the filter.

That handles required (and it’s important to note that this only appears in an HTML5 DOCTYPE) but it doesn’t trigger the e-mail format validation (does this string of characters appear to be an e-mail address). I don’t see any way besides using the field as the sending address to trigger that validation.

It appears that whichever field you choose in the action as ‘Use Item for Sender Address’ will be validated as an email address.

Thanks all. but what do I fill in for the pattern?

Yes. Since the Action is so tightly bound to the HTML5 validation extensions, it would make sense for any field that is set as required and is set as an email field (with Type=email) should also be validated for an e-mail-like format. That seems like a good feature to add.

You don’t - the script handles it for you.

With the email field selected look in the inspector under the 3rd Tab and change the name field to read ‘email’ note it is case sensitive.
And try again.

I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. Are you choosing the email field as the address to use in the “from” message? If so, then it works here. If you don’t, then I don’t see any way to invoke e-mail checking server-side with this Action. In my opinion, it should work if you have set the field Type to email and checked Required. But it doesn’t. And I can’t get Safari to properly use the HTML5 Pattern attribute to validate the field, either. The way that is supposed to work is if the field doesn’t match the pattern, the form just won’t submit and an :invalid pseudo-class is added to the field, which may be optionally styled with CSS to give it a red border or whatever.

Have you updated the link to your online example - which incidentally appears to be using the PHP Feedback Form action and not the Send Form action.

The new contact form on the site with the following link is with the Send Form Action.
http://www.perpetuabloematelier.nl/perpetuabloema13.html
The old one is with the PHP Feedback Form action

Both of these pages appear to use the PHPFF action
The perpetuabloematl.html page has it applied as a page action while the perpetuabloema13.html page has it applied to the ContactformulierPerpetua Div
Also both pages/forms do not have the email field named correctly - it should have this - email (lower case)
Can you remove the actions from the perpetuabloema13.html page, publish the page then reapply the SendForm action to the Div that contains the form and republish and upload it again.

Thanks D, I left the PHP action in the page.
Delete it and change the name from emailsender to just email and it works.
