I am now trying out the messages tag for the purpose of hyperlinking the error messages to focus on the field in error. And I can't quite get that to work (the basic messages functionality works great, though). I don't know if I can gain access to the current message property field name.
What I would like to do would be to access the name of the property and include in it the html output within some javascript code. So far, I don't see a way to do that. I would like to do something like this: <ul> <html:messages id="message" property="firstName"> <li><bean:write name="message"/></li> <li><a href="javascript:document.forms['userAccountForm']['<%= !!!current property here!!! %>'].focus()">> <bean:write name="message"/> </a> </li> </html:messages> </ul> To achieve something like this in the output: This would give a list of highlighted messages that when clicked will take the focus to the field in error. <ul type="square"> <li><a href="javascript:document.forms['userAccountForm']['confirmPassword'].focus( )">Confirm Password does not match Password</a> </li> <li><a href="javascript:document.forms['userAccountForm']['lastName'].focus()">Last name is a required field</a> </li> </ul> Any thoughts?
