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

Hi, Alexey, >> 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?

Feel free to propose a patch. ;] Okay, I'm quite busy with another project at the moment, but if this doesn't get improved by the time I'll be free, I'll do it. >> 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.

At the time when I did the patch, I was saddled with quite a few forms that had conditional logic, and making a custom function to validate every element of the form just because 2 or 3 elements needed conditional validation logic was too bothersome. In any case, conditional logic only accounts for about 20% of all custom validation needs, so you're right. By the way, I haven't found any advanced custom validation examples in the docs, are there any? I will try to send you updated OOHForms (I'll make inline comments on the added sections) next week.
