RE: [flexcoders] Accordion headers and forms
I don't think this is necessarily endorsed by Macromedia's Experience Design team. I believe they're still thinking about this issue. But this is certainly a simple way to display short error messages in an Accordion. - Gordon -Original Message- From: Manish Jethani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 3:25 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Accordion headers and forms On 4/13/05, Andrew Spaulding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If I have an Validation error in a form, what is the best way to show > this in an accordion header?

RE: [flexcoders] Accordion headers and forms
You could have something like a progress indicator ( like a progress bar) that will blink, change color, scream or do something to indicate that certain step has a problem and you can proceed but you’ll need to return to fix it. We currently just use a message/icon in the accordion header.
