Let's rephrase my problem.
I connect a validator to a TextField in a DataView (inside populateItem() and connect a ComponentFeedbackPanel to it. final TextField tf = new TextField("data", new PropertyModel(row, "data")); final ComponentFeedbackPanel tfFeedback = new ComponentFeedbackPanel("fb", tf); tfFeedback.setOutputMarkupId(true); item.add(tf); item.add(tfFeedback); And I also have both in the HTML markup <tr wicket:id="rows"> <td nowrap><input wicket:id="data" type="text" /><span wicket:id="fb"></span></td> </tr> Is this enough for the error reported in in onValidate() for the validator connected to the field with error(ivalidatable); should be displayed next to the field or does it require something more? error(validatable, "an_error_occured"); Why I wonder is that it is not displayed next to the field, it is displayed in the "common" feedback panel. /Kenneth _________________________________________________________________ Med Windows Live kan du ordna, redigera och dela med dig av dina foton. http://www.microsoft.com/sverige/windows/windowslive/products/photo-gallery-edit.aspx
