What's the best way to display validation errors on a form in Maintain? I am using javascript alerts now, but that seems unpolished.This message has been edited. Last edited by: RichardA,

Have you thought about MODAL Windows, or a minimum of a DIV that is shown, then hidden, with the relevant validation issues.

Hi Richard The 'old' way was to just display a text line at the bottom of the form. I have been using JavaScript alerts, but I make the message more specific. If the error occurs in the Maintain code, I compute a text message to an invisible field on the form. Then when the form refreshes, my JavaScript onLoad picks up that text and alerts it to the user. It's modal and gets the user's attention.
