LimeSurvey version 2.05+
Template: basic

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a multiple-short text field.
2. In the validation enter "/^\d+$/" -- so that only numbers are accepted.

When you type anything other than a number into the box it will show the error right away... anything that is except for a period. If you type something like "55." it will appear to the user as valid but when you attempt to go to the next section you will get a message saying something was invalid on the screen. Meanwhile the user has no idea what you are talking about because the box doesn't show up pink/red.

I am aware of the multiple-numeric field. I can't use that because that has its own issues. Namely when you resume the survey it will always add ".0000000000" to the values if the user entered an integer in the box. There isn't a way to set "integer only" on that type of question for some reason. Also, if you put the same regex I mentioned above on a multiple-numeric field and the user resumes it will tack ".000000000" onto the end and cause the same situation where it complains about invalid input when you attempt to go to the next section (because its not an int) but there is no indication on the screen as to why.

Also it will accept special characters, like Alt+523. It will actually accept those straight away but if you type anything after that it picks it up.

I'm sure it's fixed in last version (last build).

And you can use something like is_int(this.NAOK) at em_validation_sq

If you think it's a bug, use the bug report system.

Thanks. I will try the last build.

I did try is_int(this.NAOK) but it has the same issue as the regex.

OK, great,

Then bug must be reported
