TYPO3 Core

Using a simple login form like this:

10 = FORM
  10 {
    dataArray {
      10.label = Name
      10.type = user=input
      10.value = Name
      10.required = 1
      20.label = Passwort
      20.type = pass=password
      20.value = Passwort
      20.required = 1
      30.type = logintype=hidden
      30.value = login
      40.type = pid=hidden
      40.value = {$styles.content.loginform.pid}
      50.type = submit=submit
      50.value = Login
    }
    layout = ###LABEL### ###FIELD###
    type = 35
    REQ = 1
  }

Then in FE entering an empty password does not give a JS alert - although require is set for the password field in the TS code.

The reason is a missing "case" statement in t3lib/jsfunc.validateform.js (see "Additional Information".

The bug can be resolved by a change to t3lib/jsfunc.validateform.js :

Change this block (starting around line 72):

switch(type)    {
                    case "text":
                    case "textarea":
                        value = fObj.value;
                    break;

to this:

switch(type)    {
                    case "text":
                    case "textarea":
                    case "password":
                        value = fObj.value;
                    break;
