if elements are not visible they are not validated
so what you have to do is not allow the user to switch between tabs unless
everything on that tab has validated. you can do this by overriding the
linkfactory on the tabbed panel, using a submitlink, and only calling
setactivetab on the panel if everything has passed validation
if that is unacceptable - you want the user to roam freely from tab totab:
a better option for these situations imho is to not to use a serverside
tabpanel, but a clientside one. that way your entire form is written out
and the submit button submits the entire thing. a js lib like this makes
it trivial: http://www.stilbuero.de/jquery/tabs/
FYI, for others looking for a way to deal with tabbed panels and forms and
finding this very good option, I've written a small component using the
jquery tabs plugin pointed by igor. It can be used as drop in replacement of
wicket TabbedPanel where you want a client side one instead. I haven't
packaged it outside of my project for the moment, but it's open source and
available under an ASL v2 license, so feel free to use and adapt it to your
own requirements if you need.
