Maybe "subforms" should be interested here so that you can define a form inside another form and then you can validate a specific subform. Ofcoz keeping in mind that separation of concerns is not handled with this as the form model has to know about the form view (which are here subforms).

The separation of concerns between the form model and the form view leads me to think the model should not need to know how the view is split across multiple pages. For example, helpdesk-assisted forms may present a view to the user broken into different page divisions than than the view presented to the helpdesk staff. If a form is split across several pages for security reasons (think progressive release of information), then we need to protect against injected request values. This means the form view needs to know which widgets should be present on a page and only trigger request processing on those widgets. The problem is that multi-widget validation requires that every widget get the chance to perform validation every time there is a request. We just need to split widget request processing from widget validation processing and the problem will be solved. What do you think? Does this address your concerns, Reinhard? --Tim Larson __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com
