Definitely better than mine, but what I'm aiming for :-) is to display the error
against each field as I redraw the page.
For example
Username [ ] * not supplied
...
My latest thoughts (at 3am!) are to have a boolean validate() message, which just says
if its ok or not and then in the getHtml display extra info alongside invalid fields
I would have a common internal routine doing the validation - to avoid coding it 2
ways for the validate() method versus the getHtml() method.
