Hi all, I'm doing validation on a form where I have 3 dependent fields. If any one is present, they all must be present. I set-up my validation by saying A depends on B depends on C depends on A. I know this worked at one time. Currently I'm using 1.1 rc1 and previously was using 1.1 b3. I don't know when this stopped working. While stepping though the jsp generation with a debugger, I can see that value="" is being written even when the form values are null. The server-side validation then sees empty strings instead of nulls, so my validation doesn't work. BaseFieldTag.doStartTag() is automatically writing empty strings instead of nulls. Should I take a completely different approach? thanks john john gregg Wells Fargo Services Company Minneapolis, MN
