loc:alert / Invalid message display options?

[JohanR]

Hi,

What options are available for the display of the loc:alert invalid message?

1) Popup message
2) At top of form (this causes all fields to move down when the message is displayed)

Are there any options where the invalid message appears next to the field?

thanks

Johan

yes. this is in the comment field. So typically put validation information in the comment (ie information to the user on what you are expecting) and the class for the comment will change for invalid fields.

Hi Bruce

Is there a way to achieve the following via the current template?

When the form opens, no comments are displayed.
If any validation fails, then the comment field will display the error message.


thanks

Johan

maybe - try set the comment field to loc:alert.
you might need to play around a bit, but if the comment is a variable, you can set the variable to anything you like.

cheers
