Isaac, Just so you know, I've been working on v2 and although everything should be backwards compatible, there's going to be a lot more event handling. One of the things in v2, is you can choose to overwrite the default behavior of displaying errors.
My goal is to allow you to easily hook in to an exist framework--whether that be DHTML or possible even ActionScript. I'm also going to have onError events for each field, so you'll be have routines for each individual field that might throw an error. I think it'll be a ton better than the current version, plus it'll actually be faster. :) Oh yeah, it support internationalized messaging too! -Dan > -----Original Message----- > From: S.
