> The client-side JavaScript doesn't work as advertised on:
> http://wiki.opensymphony.com/display/WW/Client-Side+Validation
> I have the following form:
> <ww:form action="'saveUser'" validate="true" cssClass="'detail'" method="'post'">
> This generates the following onsubmit handler:
> onsubmit="return(${parameters.name}_validate())" 
> And the following JavaScript after the form:
> <script type="text/javascript">
>     function ${parameters.name}_validate() {
>         var form = document.forms['${parameters.name}'];
>         var focus = ${parameters.name}_validate_actual();
>         if (focus != null) {
>             form.elements[focus].focus();
>             if (form.elements[focus].type == 'text' || form.elements[focus].type == 'textarea') {
>                 form.elements[focus].select();            
>             }
>             return false;
>         } else {
>             return true;
>         }
>     }
>     function ${parameters.name}_validate_actual() {
>         var form = document.forms['${parameters.name}'];
>         // cannot find any applicable validators
>         return null;
>     }
>     </script>
> If I add name="'user'" to the <ww:form>, then the JavaScript looks right, but I get:
>     function user_validate_actual() {
>         var form = document.forms['user'];
>         // cannot find any applicable validators
>         return null;
>     }
> I have the following in validators.xml:
>    <validator name="requiredstring"
>         class="com.opensymphony.webwork.validators.JavaScriptRequiredStringValidator"/>
> Oddly enough, XMLBuddy (in Eclipse) says that "name" must be declared.
