Thanks Hermod
When I use t:inputText with forceid="true", I still get the javascript
error. In that case, the client side inputs that are generated are:
<label>Name</label><input id="someRequiredField[0]"
name="someRequiredField[0]" type="text" value="" size="20" />
<label>Name</label><input id="someRequiredField[1]"
name="someRequiredField[1]" type="text" value="" size="20" />
and the generated javascript validation routine is still missing the
uniqueness index:-
function required() {
this[0] = new Array("someRequiredField", "Name is required.", new
Function("x", "return {}[x];"));
}
I would think I need the required() function to be something like the
following for all this to work:
function required() {
this[0] = new Array("someRequiredField[0]", "Name is required.", new
Function("x", "return {}[x];"));
this[1] = new Array("someRequiredField[1]", "Name is required.", new
Function("x", "return {}[x];"));
}
?...
Thanks
