At risk of pointing out the obvious, I notice is that your expression
validates when:
1. reason is "friend"
2. and when friendEmail is null
I'm guessing that you want it to successfully validate when
1. reason equals "friend"
2. And when friendEmail IS NOT null
Could that be the problem?
I only point it out because the backwards logic involved with
validators has bitten me in the past. I always have to remind myself
that my validators test for things that I want, not for things that
will cause failure.

but:

why is "friendEmail" in the expression?(should be "
reason.equals('friend')
and friendEmail == null" right?)

I'm trying to use a FieldExpressionValidator (or
ExpressionValidator) to
compare fields. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working. I
have a
radio
button (named "reason") and a text field named "friendEmail". If
the
selected radio has a reason of "friend", I want to require the text
field.
However, the expression "reason.equals('friend') and friendEmail ==
null"
doesn't seem to work. Is this expression syntax correct, or do I
have to
do
something additional to get a handle on the "reason" and
"friendEmail"
values?
<field name="reason">
<field-validator type="requiredstring">
true
<message">Reason is a required field.</message>
</field-validator>
</field>
<validator type="fieldexpression">
friendEmail
reason.equals('friend') and friendEmail == null
<message>Please provide your friend's email</message>
</validator>
I've also tried the following, but no dice:
<field name="friendEmail">
<field-validator type="fieldexpression">
reason.equals('friend')
<message>Please provide your friend's email</message>
</field-validator>
</field>
Thanks,
Matt
