Hi,
I have been trying to work through the display of ActionErrors - both global and
non-global (field level) - such that it would look something like the following HTML
sample:
<html>
<head><title>Search Form</title></head>
<body>
<P><strong>The following errors have occurred:</strong></P>
<UL>
<LI><i>A global error has been detected</i></LI>
<LI><i>Last Name is invalid.</i></LI>
</UL>
<p>Fields marked with a red background and a <img
src="https://scgi.ebay.com/saw/pics/sitewide/warning_9x10.gif"; width="9" height="10"
hspace="3" vspace="2" border="0"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif"
size="2"> have failed validation.</p>
<form name="search" method="POST" action="search.do">
<h3>Please provide the following search criteria information.</h3>
<p>You must complete all of the fields marked with an asterisk <font
color="red">(*)</font>.</p>
<p><font color="red">*</font>Last Name:
<input style="background: red" type="text" name="lastname" maxlength="25"
size="25" value="Do!" title="Last Name is invalid.">
<img src="https://scgi.ebay.com/saw/pics/sitewide/warning_9x10.gif"; width="9"
height="10" hspace="3" vspace="2" border="0"></p>
<p><font color="red">*</font>First Name:
<input type="text" name="firstname" maxlength="25" size="25" value="John"></p>
<input type="submit" value="Continue">
</body>
</html>
The desire is:
1. All errors will appear in one place - the top of the page.
2. Any field for which validation errors have been detected, would be further
flagged in 1 of three potential ways:
a. changing the fields background colour;
b. marking it with an exclamation icon (thanks to eBay for the quick sample); or
c. including the error message (in this case "Last Name is invalid.") in the
title attribute of the input.
#1 is easily achieved; however, I have been struggling with #2 in any form. The
html:errors tag makes it very easy to output the message for a specific field, but I
cannot seem to find a means to use it to "flag" that an error has occurred.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
James
