Now I want to tart it up and make it jazzy. I want to make it so that when elements of the form get the "focus" that a status line on the form will show information about that part of the form. For example Please enter your name Staus line shows "Firstname Lastname" I know I can force entry so that the user can only enter a certain way but I want this status line too.... Is this a Java thing?
