Struts/Validators tags confgurations

[Bruno Sysemp]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with:
* Today I learned about the "xwork-validator" but I couldn't figure out how to manipulate the error message location, it always appears before the textfield. Is there a way to specify it's location? Do you recommend some other kind of validation to input fields?
* The tutorials I'm following use struts tags like textfield, form, among others. This tags produces HTML code that includes tables and labels that I can't configure. If I want to specify all the tables and where each item is supposed to be, should I use pure HTML and forget about this tags?

Thank you for your time.
