When using the client side validation, there is always a javascript pop up box that says something along the lines of 'Your a thick b*stard, fill in xxx!' Our client requirement is that we produce a list of errors at the top of the page, (the red <UL> kinda thing), which rules out the use of these java script pop ups.
Another thing that I noticed when playing with the JavaScript pop ups was that all the validator JavaScript, whether used or not is included in the JSP code. I ende up with hundreds of lines of JavaScript, including date, email and phone number validation, for a login for that had two elements? Is this the way it should work?
