For the sake of asking for help I've pasted a previous email in here: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I don't know of a workaround for this one. You can choose which tabs div gets re-rendered, but how on earth would you specify that you only want components A,B,C validated but not the rest?
Well...I do in fact know exactly how to do this but it feels very icky. You'd have to handle it from the AjaxForm. You ~could~ subclass it (at whichever point the form goes through its components and validates them(it calls rewindFormComponent)... So.....The only other thing to do then is somehow pass a parameter of "validateComponents" to your form class that will allow it to dynamically choose which components to validate. Maybe a hidden field that you set the value of via javascript before submitting from whichever button will do this? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This would be incredibly easy to add into the tacos AjaxForm, so if someone would like to take a crack at it (and it's good) I'd love the contribution...I don't have time to do this right now. If you do do it please use this js package as your basis: http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/tests/widget/test_Tabs.html jesse
