Does anybody need <wt:validation-message id="mywidgetid"/> tag
implementation for woody transformer? I've implemented it but seems do
not need it atm.



Hi Vadim:


AFAIK the tag can be usefull in some environments. We are currently use
the <wd:message> in some dialogs to show custom validation errors.

Plase give us more info about the tag and how this can be used. To be
honest I am still a little bit behind the woody development because of
time.



Well, it's really simple. If you have widget in the template:


<wt:widget id="a"/>

It will get expanded by transformer to:

<wi:widget id="a">
<wi:value/>
...
<wi:validation-message> ... here message from validator ... </wi:validation-message>
</widget>


Here, validation-message is nested into widget instance. But for styling purposes, if you need validation message to be somewhere else, independent from widget itself, you could use this new tag:

<tr><td>....... <td> <wt:widget id="a"/> </td> ......... </tr>
....
<tr> ..... <wt:validation-message id="a"/> ....... </tr>

In my particular case, I was able to get away with changes to the stylesheet, but if anybody sees the need for this tag, I can add it.

Anyway in some forms environments I saw how some people can use this tag
to put the validation error right after the widget. Of course this is just
another implementation choice.
