Validation on a wizard tab

[Thys]

On a web form where the tabs are in wizard format, I need to do validation of the fields on a tab when the Next or Previous buttons are pressed. There doesn't seem to be embed points for those - does anyone knows where I can add these checks?

Hi Thys
Is there a reason why you don't want to do immediate validation on each field rather then when a tab is completed?

Seems like IE9 has a problem with immediate validation - doesn't give focus to the field marked with LOC:Invalid. So this is a catch-all I would like to add to the tab fields before it goes to another tab.

those buttons function completely in javaScript - so there are no Clarion embed points.

This was fixed in the 5.27 build.

An option has been added to the "Validation" tab for forms. (Version 5.30)
Wizard: Validate Tab on Next.
If this is ticked on, then server side validation is performed on the fields (on the tab) before the user can go to the next tab.
