Problem fixed ... it appears the form doesn't emit a "validate" event, it emits a "validateForm" event!

This is a chance to perform cross-form validationthat can't be described declaratively." I understood this to mean that a validate event will be fired after the individual fields have been validated, but it seems this is not the case. I have found that validate events are fired for each of the fields on the form but not for the form itself so I need to put my cross-form validation in my success handler. Not a big problem but I think the docs should be clarified. Personally I think it would be useful to fire a validate event after the individual fields have been validated. Toby
