I'll make an optional attribute so you can specify the method name. It will be posted within an hour or two.

You can always look at the source sent to your browser and see if it created the Javascript code where you placed the JavascriptValidatorTag. Then you can see the name of the validation method that was generated. > > Thank you, > Michael Howk __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Thanks Micheal. -Original Message- From: Howk, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 8:59 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Making the Struts Validator work on the client side It's from the Validation Framework by David Winterfeldt and it's been suggested several times on this mailing list for doing client-side and server-side validation with struts (at least until version 1.1 comes out, which is supposed to have some built-in validation support).
