             Summary: Cannot contribute client-side translators
                 Key: TAP5-2429
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2429
             Project: Tapestry 5
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.3, 5.4
            Reporter: Geoff Callender


Tapestry has client-side translators which, on input, translate before validation. They use the same error-reporting mechanism as the validators (highlight the field and its label, display the message below the field). 

However, we cannot contribute our own translators. Consider these situations where the server-side field is numeric:

    Enter amount: [        ] (eg. 2k=2000, 5m=5000000]  
    Enter elapsed: [ 2:30] (min:sec)  
    Enter duration: [ 2m30s] (eg. 1m17s)  

When the server-side is numeric and the client-side representation is non-numeric, it fails client-side validation because it's not a number. If we could do client-side translation then this would be solved. 

Currently, instead, we have to disable client-side validation. For a live example, see the 4th field here (Preview 25):
