Yes, in a way you are right. Sandbox subForm by itself and server side validations works pretty well. I tried to use it with client validators created in jsf-comp. They both just do not work together. Partial validation does not happen. I have posted a code snippet in the list some time back.
One question: If I go ahead an use pure ajax components and if javascript is disabled will the form be submitted properly so that server side validations can take over and nothing breaks? > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeff Bischoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 8:29 PM > To: MyFaces Discussion > Subject: Re: client side validations > > Madhav Bhargava wrote: > > I wanted to keep both server and client side validations in case the > > javascript is disabled.
