My preference would be for the first option, and then if I want to add my own default CSS then I could contribute a service similar to the one used currently for the Tapestry default.css or by some other means.
My desire to not use the default.css is not due to any bugs with the Tapestry CSS, but rather that the base tapestry components in the context of the application I am developing need to closely match their surroundings. I am happy to contribute any fixes I find in the Tapestry default.css. The client side validation on blur sounds very interesting. I was thinking that another type of validation for the form might be allowed through Ajax. A JavaScript event listener on the forms submits would trigger an Ajax call to some action in the form component that returns the error component (as a zone replacement?) when validation fails, or continues with the form submit if it passes validation. The only real savings here is that the user does not have to suffer through a page refresh if validation fails (when client validation is disabled). This might be useful in the case where the validation of a field is hard to mimic in the Tapestry.Validator JavaScript (does JavaScript's regex implementation map one to one to Java's regex?).

There's two options: 1) Add a configuration value that would turn off the contribution of default.css. Your page (or layout component) would then provide appropriate CSS. 2) Allow replacement of default.css with some other file (or files?). What do people think is the best option? I'd prefer, personally, that people help with default.css, fixing any problems (such as the issue with IE). On a related note ... I've put a big experiment into place just now, with fields validating as you tab out of them, and using a kind of popup bubble to identify the error. It's really neat, though it may need some tweaking for cases where there are a huge number of errors on the page. I'm still working on the graphics for the popup bubble and related styles (in default.css). On Nov 29, 2007 12:34 PM, Daniel Jue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This would be very nice.
