validwhen validation question

[Brendan Richards <br...@designuk.com>]

I'm looking at using validwhen for a complex validation. 
 
I've got a value that can either be ignored when another parameter is
set or is valid when it's a date.
 
A simple date validation would be something like this:
<field property="date" depends="required,date">
        <arg0 key="myForm.date"/>
 
<var><var-name>datePattern</var-name><var-value>dd-MM-yyyy</var-value></
var>
    </field>
 
Can a validwhen call another validation? Giving you something like
 
 
<field property="date" depends="validwhen">
      <arg0 key="myform.date"/>
        <var>
          <var-name>test</var-name>
          <var-value>((ignoreDate == "yes") or ( #insert date
validation#  ))</var-value>
        </var>
      </field>
 
or should I just write my own validation rule / do it with javascript
before I submit?
 
 
 
Thanks,
 
Brendan
