Newbie request -
I want to handle a form by redisplaying the submitted data, along
with error information. Eg one of the forms has two dates (a FromDate
and a ToDate) as well as an identifier. The usual error conditions
apply to the dates - valid form, From <= To, etc.
What I'd like to be able to do is to have a stack of error messages
which identify a field in error, and the set of associated error
messages. Ideally the fields in error would be shaded to indicate the
severity of the error (no shading = fine; yellow shading=warning; red
shading=error), and would also allow the user to see the list of
errors for a field by hovering over the field.
The 'pretty' enhancements are relatively easy - but I'm having a
problem trying to get the form data to redisplay.
Any pointers? ideas? suggestions?
Thanks,
Tony
