required=true validation messages

[pdhaigh]

Hi,

Is there any way Seam can help in providing useful validation messages for inputs with required=true?

I.e. using a friendly name for the given field rather than just the ID (which is generally unwieldy and ugly).

Generally speaking it's not an issue, as you just put the validation message next to the field, but when using a form across tabbed panels, you then can't see the validation message for the fields on other tabs.

If Seam can't do it, does anyone have a decent solution to this?

cheers

Have you tried the "label" attribute in your input component (JSF 1.2)?

Perfect, thank you very much indeed :-)
