Not exactly sure what Jesse had originally in mind, but changing 'themes'
is quite possible & even easy -
You just need to override the family of methods at tapestry.form.validation
Here's an example I recently used for amplafi:
amplafi.presentErrors: function(miObj) {
var form = miObj.args[0], results = miObj.args[1], profile =
miObj.args[2];
if (amplafi.showValidationDialog) {
return miObj.proceed(); }
}
then set it up with
dojo.event.connectAround(tapestry.form.validation, "summarizeErrors",
amplafi,"presentErrors");
So, every time tapestry.form.validation.summarizeErrors is called (which
pops up the dialog) I am able
to change the execution the way I want it - I also trap calls to
tapestry.form.validation.processResults e.t.c.
Take a look at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tapestry/tapestry4/trunk/tapestry-framework/src/js/tapestry/form.js
to get more ideas.

Can anyone shed some light as to what happened with this idea of having a

Thanks,

Not sure which release this belongs in but I've got all kinds of
usability/humane/etc plans for validation that I'm going to want to
try applying at some point. I'd really rather just completely remove
this dialog but want to see how people feel about it first.
I can always just make this a configurable option where you opt-in and
choose which kind of client side validation "theme" you'd like, but
I'm not as convinced that more options here will necessarily be
helping people.
What do you think/feel ?
