Phil,

I'm not sure.  It's probably a limitation of the javascript validator  
in FarCry.

In my opinion the javascript validator was really cool when first  
introduced, but FarCry has already advanced farther than the current  
js validator solution can keep up with.  Granted, you can override the  
validation in FarCry using custom methods (I'm not sure if it's  
documented, but Mat showed me once and it was pretty cool, albeit a  
little complicated), however I'm curious if anyone would be interested  
in replacing the js validation scripts in FarCry with the following  
jQuery plugin written by one of the jQuery team members 
http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/ 
  (Documentation here: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation).  
I've been using it for a few months in some other projects (non-FarCry  
apps) and it's pretty powerful (and extremely easy to implement and  
customize).

If interested in the plugin, maybe first take a look at Ray Camden's  
experience/tutorials of using the jQuery plugin.  It demonstrates how  
easily we could customize it to be used with different ftTypes and  
even offer things like custom error messages (note: This is actually a  
3-part series he wrote.  The first part is meant to be simple and  
limited to help introduce the plugin before he gets into more  
complicated solutions.  He even has a few posts he wrote not labeled  
as part of the series which talks about using the plugin to do even  
more form validation not previously described in the series: 
http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2009/2/9/An-introduction-to-jQuery-and-Form-Validation)
 
.

Thoughts anyone?...

If I raised this as a feature request in the bug tracker, would people  
vote for it, or am I just pushing jQuery plugins on people   
again :) ?  (I've been known to do that the past several months ever  
since I got hooked on jQuery).
