One reason might be that html does not send "empty" values to the server, therefor the validation mechanism has nothing to work on, the trigger mechanisms do not trap that one. The required flag is checked at another moment... But that's just a possible explanation...

Cannot garantee... I am just trying to get back into the game... Have you tried it. or just looked at the code? If you can create a "small" testcase (complete but reduced webapp), we can use that as a testcase... and correct the behaviour of OptValidator. regards Alexander
