Hi Adam,
Yes, I think html:errors is a pretty good validaiton mechanism.
Especially if you use the Struts validation framework (validation.xml,
validator-rules.xml) for
generating your errors.
For showing errors right beside each specific field that fails the
validation, you will need
to have <html:errors property="property-name"></html:errors> tag beside
each field.
But if you want to show all the errors at once (say above all the fields)
then you can use
<html:errors/> tag as-is.

hope this helps,

Hi all I am using struts 1.2.9 and starting to work on error
validation. So
far I have my login page using:
<html:errors property="username"></html:errors>
etc etc etc.
I was wondering firstly Is this still the best manner in which to display
errors ?
The second question which has more to do with the title is
How does one use error validation on fields that are iterated ?
As an example if I have 3 fields where a team has to enter a score, I want
to ensure that the only values that are entered beside each field is a
number. If any of those fields have other than a number I want the error
to
appear only beside that particular field. Is this something that can be
done with error validation ? I am looking around for examples but most
examples are quite dated and I am trying to use the best things available
to
me.
thanks in advance.
Adam
