if elements are not visible they are not validated
so what you have to do is not allow the user to switch between tabs unless
everything on that tab has validated. you can do this by overriding the
linkfactory on the tabbed panel, using a submitlink, and only calling
setactivetab on the panel if everything has passed validation
if that is unacceptable - you want the user to roam freely from tab to tab:
a better option for these situations imho is to not to use a serverside
tabpanel, but a clientside one. that way your entire form is written out and
the submit button submits the entire thing. a js lib like this makes it
trivial: http://www.stilbuero.de/jquery/tabs/

How do you get all the tabs generated in one page?
The problem I'm having is that only the current tab's stuff is
there, so I'm
not sure how to do all the validation.
I guess I would need a form validator that validates all the
fields of the
object that the form allows the user to edit.
I have required fields on several different tabs, but if the
elements of
another tab are not visible, I'm not sure how to validate against that.
Thanks!
