Hi Roel,
 
you could in javascript ask your form to validate itself....
 
suppose we have something like 
 
var form = new Form("userform.xml");

var formWidget = form.form;

suppose now your formWidget has a field with id="validationError"
 
then you could write in your while(true) loop something like
 
if ("save-data".equals(form.submitId)) {

    if (!formWidget.isValid()) {

        formWidget.lookupWidget("validationError").setValue("There was a
problem validating your form");

    }

}

Cheers,
Robby Pelssers

Onderwerp: Re: validation



Hello, 

I use the required attribute. And I get a  !  next to the filed. When I
click that   !   then I get to see te message. But I want to (next to this
behaviour ) that i can display a message at the bottom of my form to tell
the user that the form did not validate. (because users tend to oversee
these   !      even when they are in red) 

so is it possible to check that at least 1 (one) field is not validated (it
doesn't matter witch) and then show a message? 


pe; 


situation now after submit; 

field1   myname        * 
field2   myadres * 
field3                * !         
field4   mytelephone * 

* required 



situation wanted after submit 


field1   myname        * 
field2   myadres * 
field3                * !         
field4   mytelephone * 

* required 

There was a problem validating your form 




Tnx

Dear Roel,

In your form-definition, you can declare whether or not a field is required:
<fd:field id="..." required="true|false" state="...">
(See http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/widgets/widget_field.html)

When a field has required="true", a message is displayed when the
field is not filled out (on form-submit) (when using standard
validation).

Next to that, fields that have the required="true" attribute, are
marked and a ! appears displaying the validation error (after
attempted submission)
