Forma validation

vchigne 04 Mar, 2010
Hello. I have a very large form. When some field is missing or bad, the "submit" button does nothing and the required fields are shown in red. What I need to do is that when some fields has an erros, the form scrolls to the beginning, all the messages appear at the beginning of the form along with a message like "PLease correct the following error before send your form", or, that a popup appears indicated what I have mentioned. What's the best way to do that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi chigne,

I'd first suggest that you break up the form into several smaller pages to make it more manageable for the user. This reduces the error message problem.

It is entirely possible to create custom validation messages and locations for them but I think that to do that you will need to add custom LiveValidations to your Form code. There are several threads here on doing that.
