Okay, I have a problem/question. I have a webpage that I am using for input. On that page, I am using javascript tabbing. So basically, clicking on a "tab" will hide and show different spans, with different data-entry fields on them. The whole page is within one big form. Each "tab" has its own save button. On the fields, I am using Field Validators to validate the input.
The problem I'm having is this, if there is a field that doesn't pass validation on tab #2, and I am on tab #1 and hit save, nothing happens. Obviously, you cannot submit the form unless everything is valid. However, to a user, it would seem like a bug. The "tab" they are looking at looks fine. They wouldn't really know to look on another tab for a validation error. Is there anyway to catch this state? so I can at least let the user know that there is an error somewhere? Thanks in advance!
