Server side validation and tabbed form

First of all, I'd like to thank you for providing this wonderful tool.

I'm in the process of building a couple of forms for running a simple "user registration/profile update and services request tool" for an academic department. I'm no programmer but, with the forum's help, I've already got the user (extended profile) registration/update working, using #__users and another table.

I'm running server side validation for username & email duplication check, on form submission, but this causes an interface drawback on my tabbed forms. If the duplication error occurs, as the submit button is on a different tab, the one containing the error labels stays closed.

Can you help me? How can I trigger the tabfix function with server side validation?

Thanks,
Miguel

I forgot to mention, I'm using V4.0 RC3.3

Hi Miguel,

I though that Max had posted a fix for this in the forums here a few weeks ago. Try searching his posts for April and May

Hello!

I've looked in all (?) his posts from the last 2 months but I can't find the answer to this.
I'll have to try to adapt this solution to my needs.
