Hello, you can put the general form validation code straight into the form element: <fd:form xmlns:fd="http://apache.org/cocoon/forms/1.0#definition";> <fd:validation> <fd:javascript> <!-- form validation code --> var error = null; var widget1 = widget.lookupWidget("field1"); var value1 = widget1.getValue(); //... if (anythingWrongForASingleWidget) widget1.setValidationError(new Packages.org.apache.cocoon.forms.validation.ValidationError("errorMessage", false)); if (error == null) return true; return false; </fd:javascript> </fd:validation> <fd:widgets> <fd:field id="field1"> <fd:validation> <!-- field valdation --> </fd:validation> </fd:field> </fd:widgets> </fd:form> regards, Wolfgang --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
