Why can't I see my validation errors?

[Dave Alvarado]

Hi,

I'm using MyFaces 1.2. On my form, to display the validation errors, I have this ...

  <h:form id="index">
	<h:messages layout="table" showDetail="true" showSummary="true"  styleClass="requiredCopy" />

I also have fields in my form similar to this one ...

            <h:inputText id="Name" value="#{contactInfo.name}"
                                            required="true"
                                            size="60"
                                            maxlength="60"
                                            styleClass="textFields" />

However, if I do not fill in a value for the above field (for example), and click Submit, I am returned to the form with this field, but no message displays on my page. But I have that "h:messages" tag, so I was hoping someone could offer some suggestions for troubleshooting or tell me what I was doing wrong.

Thanks, - Dave

Do you mean that you have fields with the same id? You cannot have components with the same id in a JSF view.
Otherwise, if your style sheet classes are not hiding the message , then what you have should work!
