This describes my problem exactly. Thanks. Entered about 100 events yesterday and sometimes I forgot to set the expiry date correctly and needed to start again filling the title and location field which was already filled before the error appeared. When this happens to me often this will happen to users too. It's frustrating a little.
I did not say this would be an bug. The error message is legitimate. But I see no need why the correctly given data in the text fields should be lost if the error concerns the expiry date only. It's not user friendly I wanted to say. For this case I removed client side validation for the title and location data and replaced it with an CF validation during during the form processing which stops on error but is loosing no form data. I will proceed similar for the News and Facts forms also.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe he is trying to say that he is purposly causing the error for his example. What he's saying (if I understand him correctly) is that if he fills out fields like a Title and then makes an error on the something else (ex. The date fields used her) he should be notified of the error (which is working correctly) and not lose all of his form data that he's already entered. However all of the "correct" data he's filled out (such as Title) are now empty (data lost). Hope I got that right :) -Jeff C Here is a quote from Silvio's original post: "When entering event objects and the form is producing an error like 'Expiry or End dates cannot be before Publish or Start Dates' The form is losing the values in the title and location field so you have to re-enter." --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
