You want to use onValidateForm to handle validation that involves more than one field.
Seems like the simplest solution to your second problem is to use an actionlink instead of a submit button and just have the fields reset by the event handler. I believe t5-components has a button component that will give you the same look and feel of the submit button, without submitting the form. Peter Beshai On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 3:15 PM, Kevin C.
