In my example below I’m using a dijit.form.DateTextBox : <input type=text name=startDate dojoType=dijit.form.DateTextBox constraints={datePattern:’MM/dd/yyyy’}

In my example below I’m using a dijit.form.DateTextBox:

<input type='text' name='startDate' dojoType='dijit.form.DateTextBox' constraints='{datePattern:'MM/dd/yyyy'}'  value='<c:out value='${sessionScope.adminMessageForm.startDate}'/>' />

So for example, if the user starts to enter ‘asdf’ into the date the field turns yellow and a popup error message appears saying The value entered is not valid.. Even if I remove the constraints='{datePattern:'MM/dd/yyyy'}' it still validates.

Without going into details as to why, I would like to be able keep the dojoType and still prevent validation in particular circumstances.

  1. Try overriding the validate method in your markup.

    This will work (just tested):

    <input type='text' name='startDate' dojoType='dijit.form.DateTextBox'    constraints='{datePattern:'MM/dd/yyyy'}'     value='<c:out value='${sessionScope.adminMessageForm.startDate}'/>'   validate='return true;' />
