Hi Miguel, I'm sorry... I wasn't very clear. Let me use an example:
Let's say I have a create account page. Every user needs to create a password. I want to instruct the user that the account password must be of a minimum length or contain certain characters.
My validateKey methods enforce this requirement and reports errors to the user. What I want to do is present those requirements to the user before the input is made.
So, instead of waiting for the user to make a mistake and reporting their errors through validateKey() ... is there something like inputInstructionsForKey() to create a localized instruction to display the input requirements to the user before the input is ever made? I don't think it would be difficult to roll my own version of this, but it seems to me that this would be such a common requirement that it would have been done before.

Hi! What exactly do you mean by "input instructions"?

WebObjects has a really awesome input validation system, so it seems rather odd to me that there doesn't appear to be any sort of analogous system for providing user input instructions. I'm wondering what everyone else is doing in this case. Are you guys just hardcoding this info into your page templates? Is there some kind of inputInfoForKey(key) method I'm overlooking somewhere? It seems like this would be a pretty common requirement.Thanks everyone! Ramsey _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
