Hi Gareth, How do you go about doing validation on such a form? I've tried in the past (admittedly only in 1.0) to do AJAX based forms mainly relying on the observe_field tag acting on various drop downs or checkboxes to populate hidden divs with new form fields based on what the user is selecting. The problem with this is that it always comes unstuck when the user submits the form with validation errors - While the initial form will be redisplayed with all of the
Because of this I've always stuck with a multi page approach (like Richmeister) where I do a submit/validate/save to session for each separate form until the final one where I pull everything back out of session and write it to the DB along with the values from that final form. Would love to hear how you've dealt with it using AJAX!
