Validation and Display Question

[Scott Purcell <sp...@vertisinc.com>]

I am seeking some advice on the following:

I have a site which uses the validator.xml and validation.xml files, and within the jsp pages, I am using the <logic tag to display the messages.

All works great, but I want to go further with my validation.  Upon some investigating on other sites, I have noticed that some sites will actually change the text in front of textfields to a red along with a message about the error.

I would like to be able to perform this type of error display, instead of the simple message that comes from the html:messages error, which is a list of problems.

has anyone seen this done, or have any ideas where to begin with this?

Thanks,
Scott

Re: Validation and Display Question

To get the error appear next to the field add the following :

<html:messages id="error" property="<FIELD_NAME>">
    <bean:write name="error" />
</html:messages>

to change the text of the field label

(if your form is a table)
...
<td <html:messages id="error"
property="<FIELD_NAME>">class="error"</html:messages>>
    Field label
</td>
<td><html:text property="<FIELD_NAME>"></td>
<td class="error">
    <html:messages id="error" property="<FIELD_NAME>">
        <bean:write name="error" />
    </html:messages>
</td>
...
