Form submits empty textfield

[Suresh.Natarajan]

Hello All,

I have a search form with 7 fields - 1 text field, 4 combo, 2 date fields). The layout is table (3 columns). The results have to be populated in a grid, once search succeeds. I am able to get the results, however I face the below problems:
Problem:
1. When I do a form submit without entering any values in these fields, the text field is going as empty and search query is failing.
2. Even if I select or enter values for any of the fields, the form submits only with the text field.

Please help me in solving this issue.

Ensure that all of your form fields have a name attribute with a valid/unique name for each field.

Thank you that solved half of my problem.
But still when I submit my form without entering any values to any of the fields, I am getting an empty string from the text field alone. I have to additionally check for the empty and frame my query. Does submitEmptyText: false will not work?

Since you have not posted any code I am not sure if you are talking about empty string ("") or the emptyText configured for fields in your form.

emptyText : String

The default text to place into an empty field.

Note that normally this value will be submitted to the server if this field is enabled; to prevent this you can set the submitEmptyText option of Ext.form.Basic.submit to false.

If you're calling form.load({...}) prior to displaying the form, make sure that you're specifying a null as the initial value of the textfield. If you pre-initialize a textfield and a user enter no value for the field, it will POST an empty String as well.

If you don't initialize a textfield in any way, it should POST a null by default.

Thank you. I have added the code as an attachment (MyCodeBase.txt). Please take a look.
Also, I have tried the option submitEmptyText: false while submitting the form. However it didnt work for me.

This is how, I add the text field to the form. I am not initializing anywhere. Am I doing something wrong here:

items: [
{
xtype: 'textfield',
name: 'TICKET_ID',
minLength : 6,
maxLength : 8,
regex: /[0-9]+/,
margin: '10 0 10 10'
},

try adding a Writer that has a property with "writeAllFields" set to false

writer: {
  type: 'json',
  writeAllFields: false,
  root: 'data'
}
