I'm looking for a nice way to change an input field's text label to red when there is an ActionMessage/ActionError generated by Validator. I'm handling the error message where global messages are displayed and I want to take the property names from the ActionMessage and change the label text to red based on the property name. I'm thinking fetching the labels' for attr (property) and get from the ActionMessage map. If it exists,then change the color.

Or there may be a slicker way of doing it. I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks

The problem with this approach or even just passing in a String[] of the properties that are in error is knowing how to get that info in to the request object. Does Validator put an object in the request ?

this would work:

Note: use onlode was used above instead of onload to get around the JavaRanch filter.

say you have

how will you recognise "Your name" in order to change it's color? i dont think that's easy...

in my app, i'm not changing the field's description color but render a bold red error message right below the field.

there is a struts application property which leads and one that trails an error message. i'm using this fields to render

arround the error text. The style itself takes care of color, font style and of the required line break.

pretty satisfied with this solution :-)

The link that Nyanas had mentioned does not seem to be working. Can someone provide me a solution to highlight the Label for example "Your Name" (refer previous messages by Jeff) to red on error. I am using bean:message to display the label on the page. Thanks

Always! Wait. Never. Shut up. Look at this tiny ad.
