Look for this to be fixed in the nightly dated July 29.

would process all validations.
You can apply the patch yourself. It's only two files ValidatorPlugIn.java
and JavascriptValidatorTag.java.

The generated Javascript groups tests by type (required, mask, min length
etc) and calls them as follows:
 function validateRegistrationForm(form) {
  if (bCancel)
     return true;
   else
     return validateRequired(form) &&
            validateMask(form) &&
            validateMinLength(form) &&
            validateMaxLength(form) &&
            validateEmail(form);
 }
Due to the way the && expression is evaluated, if any test returns true
   

the
 

subsequent tests are not executed.

If you had several missing required fields then those errors would be
grouped together. But if you had only one missing required field and
   

another
 

type of error, you would not see the second error message until you
   

correct
 

the missing field error.

See the struts-validator sample application (shipped with Struts) for
examples.

Somehow Ted Husted was able to get the javascript to show more than one
error at a time in the javascript alert message.
See screen shot on page 373 of Struts in Action.
I'm using Struts 1.1 final and it seems the javascript won't support
     

that?
