Hi Harry, Well, it should be possible to create a Behavior taking care of stuff this...
e.g. like textField.add(new ClientSideRequiredValidationBehavior(myErrorLabel)); ClientSideRequiredValidationBehavior should override onComponentTag then to add onchange/onblur javascript code to your input field which updates myErrorLabel in case of error (or does something else). You would merely be adding javascript behavior to your input tag then, which would of course not act like normal wicket validators. And you would have to implement validation in javascript manually again, which would cause some redundancy, because there should definitely be server side validation on form submission as you cannot trust the data coming in from a client. Hope this helps...
