Just wondering Laurie ... why cant I use other "validation rules" along with
validwhen? I dont see any fundamental reason why I need to resort to regular
expressions when I use validwhen tag. For example, it would be great if I
could say .. validwhen (some test) .. use the date validation!
Is there something inherent in the way it is designed that this is not
possible?
Regards,
Raghu
