just had an after thought... when I don't change the first select it is still running the validator on that first select menu.
There is a difference between the two selects... the first is keyed by integers and the default value is -1 with a blank label. The second is keyed by strings and the default value is "" with a blank label. I wonder if JSF is considering the -1 as a value that needs to be validated and a "" as something it doesn't. Putting required= true did seem to solve my needs for the string based select. Too bad it can't be consistent. THANKS for the help. Jason On 3/29/07, Jason Vincent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
ohh dang. Well that is precisely what I need to validate - that the default "blank" value isn't the one that got submitted. hmmmmmm Suggestions? I suppose if it came to it, I could use an alternate form of validation - javascript, or perhaps application layer validation. My preference, for simplicity, is to use JSF's validation layer.
