That will work. It was suppose to bee "Do you mean to be able to" display the error message.." I pretty sure my mail server strips words from my mail and changes "now" to "not" in places as I review the messages before sending and they are perfect... > I tend to keep the field and label separate because the HTML designers > like to put them in separate places in the markup, but they could just > as easily be combined.

My field() macro is the most generic since most of the times the forms are very similar. But I have separate macros to generate just the field, widget, and error message, of course. > The difference in our approaches is that there's no English text in my > Perl code or in the templates for my forms, just field names and > (occasionally) message ids.

(It > also makes it a bit harder to change the English text.) Do you have a "system" for picking error codes such that the don't get repeated? And when a new validation error id is added into the code does the programmer also update one of the language templates -- and then notifies the language team? -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
