Re: [cforms] Form-level custom validator

[Carlos Ch�vez]

 Hi Alex,
 well i think you need use <fd:messages id=".."/> for show the error
 message and you can write a validator for the form <fd:validation>.

 for example:
 In the definition.xml you can write:

    <fd:validation>
        <fd:javascript>
            // write the code for validation
            // set the message error : widget.getChild("widget name for
message").addMessage(...);
            // always return true or false
        </fd:javascript>
    </fd:validation>

    <fd:widgets>
        <fd:messages id="widget name for message">
            <fd:label>widget label</fd:label>
        </fd:messages>
        .....
        other widgets
   <fd:widgets>

   Cheers,
   Carlos Ch�vez.
