Yes, clearly stated. I thought about this some more and have another issue. When using multi-field validation, the value in another field may determine whether or not a field is required. For this case A should be relaxed to: A-required="true" - field may or may not be empty and must be validated. Alternately, we could leave A as you stated and add this as a third case: C-required="maybe" - field may or may not be empty and must be validated. If the validation logic is duplicated on the client with javascript, then the visual indicator of whether a field is required could be dynamically updated when the fields it depends on are changed. This could also be achieved with server-side logic, but would not be quite as dynamic as it could only update the indicator on posts. --Tim Larson __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
