Re: QF rules as notices

Hello Bertrand, hello Alexey, and think there may be a slight misunderstanding of my needs, I try to figure it out again with an example: Think of a form with an textfield for age (one of many form elements). Because the form is built for a fincance-company, their customers are normally between 14 and 70 years, but they could be in some rare cases out of this range. If worker at the bank now fills in a value of 12 years, the form should display a _message_ (not error) which says s.th. like "are you really sure?" This message shall be displayed in two cases: 1. After the first submit 2. As long as their are "real" error messages like "required", which give back "false" to $form->validate() so that the form will be displayed again. At the time all errors are worked off and the form can be submitted, the form shall be submitted and the result page ("data saved") shall be shown. Exception: Point 1. Is it now more understandable what I mean? Javascript is no solution for us, because with most of the clients JS gets filtered out. Custom rules could be the solution, but as I understood them, returning true results in _not_ displaying error messages, or can this be handled? A feature like my messages could be a good feature vor Quickform itself, for example in building online questionaires (which is part of my profession) this is a often asked "nice to have".
