Hello,
I think figured out my problem - I needed to render the html
template in rewindFormComponent! It was right in front of me the
entire time.

Subject: Custom component validation - two fields
Hello,
We are trying to implement a rather simple custom form component
for a search page and perform validation on it. The custom
component has a checkbox and a text field. If the checkbox is
checked then a value must be provided in the text field. If not,
the field must be decorated and a message displayed at the top of
the form (tie in with the delegate etc). What is the recom
RE: Custom component validation - two fields
I think I follow. So you only display the TextField if the checkbox was
checked (via refresh submit)?
I plowed ahead with trying to implement my own AbstractFormComponent that
would use an html template and also render some of its own content. However, I
am getting a stale link exception when I submit. Either I am setting something
up incorrectly or missing the boat on the rewind. Not exactly sure how to parse
the StaleLink page. Been diving through the list archives and source trying to
get a better idea on how component ids are generated and the rewind is done.
I can create a new form component re-using other form components - right?
To read the template I yanked code out of the BaseComponent class.
In the end, I want my custom component to display a checkbox and a textfield

checkbox is checked but no content is contained in the textfield I want to
decorate it and add a message to the top. This component will be used at least
a dozen time on the page for different search parameters.
Gradually learning!

What we do is to wrap the checkbox in an AnySubmit. And then when checked a submit happens and the field is then displayed with whatever mark-up is required.
