Re[2]: [PEAR] [QUICKFORM] Question about QuickForm

Hi, Alexey, and thanks for your answers, My fault, it seems that the form in the example, instead of being reposted, was loaded from the cache so I got red warnings all over the form. I don't know whether you are the correct person to ask, but is it possible to enhance the javascript validation to set focus to the first unvalidated form element? It was kind of handy to have it as part of OOHForms. A while ago, I also suggested another handy enhancement to Bertrand, which is to do conditional validation of the form, i.e. a rule like '([email] && ([tel] || [fax]))' passes only if the email field and either tel or fax fields pass their own tests. This should be pretty easy to implement, since Javascript and PHP both have eval() methods and [] placeholders can be replaced with 'true' or 'false' depending on whether they passed their tests. I have a fixup of OOHForms that allows to do this, if you are interested. Thanks, Stanislav AB> Hi!
