Description Owen Leonard 2014-02-19 16:35:09 UTC
The new city 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 11791 - Use validation plugin when creating new city

The page for adding a new city 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 Administration -> Cities -> New city.
Try submitting the form without entering a city or zip code. This should
trigger a validation warning.

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

Note: This patch changes the behavior. Before the patch, only 1 out of city
and zip was required. Now both are. Since the 2 inputs were marked as
required, I think they should be.
