if you give the error mssage a different property then you can differentiate
between the two
errors.add("javascriptErrors", new ActionError("error.js.field.missing",
fieldName));
errors.add("textError", new ActionError("error.text.field.missing",
fieldName));
<html:errors property="textError"/>
this above html:errors tag will only display errors that have the
"textError" property
there no limit to the number of different error properties you can have.
for example
I have a form where you canenter user details in, if any required fields are
missing it makes an error with property "top"
errors.add("top", new ActionError("error.fields.missing"));
this erro says something generic like "Some of the required fields are
missing, see arrows below"
in my page the <html:error property="top"/> tag goes at the top of the form.
and next to each missing field I have a <html:errors proerty="myFieldName"/>
if that field is missing I create an error like
errors.add("myFieldName", new ActionError("error.left.arrow"));
this then lets me use one text error, and then have an arrow point to each
of the missing fields in the form.
