Description Owen Leonard 2014-02-18 20:26:15 UTC
The new course entry form uses custom validation JavaScript which can be easily replaced with HTML5 validation attributes in conjunction with Koha's built-in validation plugin (http://jqueryvalidation.org/documentation/).

Bug 11788 - Use validation plugin when creating new course

The page for adding a new course includes some custom form
validation JavaScript which can be removed in favor of HTML5 validation
attributes and Koha's built-in validation plugin. This patch does so.

To test, apply the patch and go to Course reserves -> New course. Try
submitting the form without entering a department, course number,
and/or course name. This should trigger validation warnings.

Submission of the form with valid data should work correctly. Editing an
existing course should also work correctly.
