Client side validation is still not perfect so its
disabled by default. More advanced users, who do a bit more client-side
scripting, found that the client side validation was getting in their way (it
was preventing them from programattically submitting forms). To maintain
best backwards compatibility, the default was turned off.

Subject: [Tapestry-developer] Client-Side
validation seems to default to OFF
I've been struggling to get client-side
validation working and it looks like there is a bug or documentation
error. According to the ValidField documentation (and also the comments in
BaseValidator.java), client-side validation should default to ON but that
appears not to be the case.
Here is the relevant line in BaseValidator.java
:
private boolean _clientScriptingEnabled = false;
It's easy enough to work around (just specifically setting
it to true in the XML files) but can you tell me what the intended
behavior is?
The learning curve for Tapestry is pretty steep and there
are a lot of things I currently have no idea how to do, but so far it looks
pretty cool. Is there a place yet for user-submitted components and
validators. I could use some extra validators (credit-card, email, etc.)
and it would be nice if there was an FTP area to download them or, if I end up
writing them myself, upload them.
Cheers,
Brien Voorhees
