Hi,
after seeing Davide's way of using the HeaderTabs extension together with the
SemanticForms extension [1], I thought I'd also give it a try on a Wiki I'm
working on.
I found a usability problem:
The error message that SemanticForms shows when a mandatory form field hasn't
been filled ("There were errors with your form input; see below") will confuse
the user if the error is in another tab. It would be great if the two
extensions could work together as follows:
* switch to the tab which contains the error(s) if they are all in one tab
* highlight the tabs that contain errors if they are spread over multiple tabs
* tell the user to check all highlighted tabs for errors
I don't know if this is even possible, but it would be great for the usability
of a large form :)
If it's not possible, maybe a "cheaper" version could be considered:
If a form uses the HeaderTabs extension (has the <headertabs/> tag in it), show
a different error message, such as "There were errors with your form input; see
below (the errors might be in other tabs than the one you currently see)"
Patrick.
