I agree about that sticky wicket, but.... There are already validation rules that do not have client-side support (via JavaScript).
At least this type of stuff would be nice in the contrib area. -----Original Message----- From: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 9:10 PM To: Struts Developers List Subject: RE: Validating Formatted Numbers Patch [Bugzilla 26151] In principle, I'd agree with Rick, since these type of patterns are the standard way of doing this sort of thing on the Java platform. But, the sticky wicket is lack of a JavaScript implementation. People would expect an implementation like this to include client-side support, as the other validations do. -Ted.
