Hi David and others,
I was trying to implement the below and had a problem.

>> <ae:parameter name="required">false</ae:parameter>

I tried this and created the following validator:
<validator class="arraylength">
<arguments>
<argument>data[Images]</argument>
</arguments>
<errors>
<error>ERROR: An invalid number of images was uploaded</error>
</errors>
<ae:parameters>
<ae:parameter name="required">true</ae:parameter>
<ae:parameter name="min">1</ae:parameter>
<ae:parameter name="max">3</ae:parameter>
</ae:parameters>
</validator>
However, the error message does not appear on the form template (code
below). I'm guessing because I don't have an input explicitly called
data[Images] and so the FPF isn't able to place the error?
<fieldset>
<legend>Vehicle Images</legend>
<label for="data[Images][1]">Image #1:</label>
<input id="data[Images][1]" type="file" name="data[Images][1]" />
<p/>
<label for="data[Images][2]">Image #2:</label>
<input id="data[Images][2]" type="file" name="data[Images][2]" />
<p/>
<label for="data[Images][3]">Image #3:</label>
<input id="data[Images][3]" type="file" name="data[Images][3]" />
<p/>
<p class="note">
<em>Images should be 200x125 px, <br/> JPEG or GIF format only.</em>
</p>
</fieldset>
>> 3. I need to validate two fields together ie. sale price min and max

I was under the impression (maybe mistaken) that calls to
setAttribute() should only be made in the View, not the Action. Not
sure if that's right or not, do advise what is the "best practice" in
this case?
Thanks,
Vikram
