I have a related question. I architected our JSP framework at work to allow specific field error messages to be available when fields don't validate. In this way error messages can be written above/below/near each field in error (for usability's sake) instead of in aggregate at the top of form (ugly/messy/hard to use). How do I accomplish this using the Struts validation package?

But the messagesPresent tag is obviously less work! Off topic, but a related idea is to write the label for a required field in a different font when it is null. So, the required field start out in red or maroon, but turn black if the form is retruned for validation, and they pass. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel +1 716 737-3463 -- http://www.husted.com/struts/ David Winterfeldt wrote: > > If you are using one of the more recent nightly builds > there is a logic tag you could use. > > <logic:messagesPresent property="username"> > // insert image here > </logic:messagesPresent> > <html:text property="username" size="20" > maxlength="100"/> > > David > > --- Angela Saval <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would like to be able to place an icon next to > > each field in a form that > > did not validate correctly.
