You can control the look of the errors component using CSS. I also use a component that extends Errors so that it can render outside of the form:
public class FormErrors extends Errors { @Parameter(required = true) private Form _form; @Inject private Environment _environment; void setupRender() { final ValidationTracker tracker = _form.getDefaultTracker(); _environment.push(ValidationTracker.class, tracker); } boolean beforeRenderTemplate() { return false; // don't render the body } void cleanupRender() { _environment.pop(ValidationTracker.class); } } If you are looking to get the error bubble to pop up after you submit the form you could use this: public class BubbleValidationDecorator extends BaseValidationDecorator { private final Environment _environment; private final RenderSupport _renderSupport; public BubbleValidationDecorator(Environment environment, RenderSupport renderSupport) { _environment = environment; _renderSupport = renderSupport; } public void afterField(Field field) { final ValidationTracker validationTracker = _environment.peekRequired(ValidationTracker.class); if (validationTracker.inError(field)) { _renderSupport.addScript( "$('%s').getFieldEventManager().showValidationMessage('%s');", field.getClientId(), validationTracker.getError(field)); } } } Add to AppModule: public static void contributeMarkupRenderer( OrderedConfiguration<MarkupRendererFilter> configuration, final Environment environment, final RenderSupport support) { MarkupRendererFilter validationDecorator = new MarkupRendererFilter() { public void renderMarkup(MarkupWriter writer, MarkupRenderer renderer) { ValidationDecorator decorator = new BubbleValidationDecorator(environment, support); environment.push(ValidationDecorator.class, decorator); renderer.renderMarkup(writer); environment.pop(ValidationDecorator.class); } }; configuration.override("DefaultValidationDecorator", validationDecorator); } On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 2:33 PM, Rich M <rich...@moremagic.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I've found resources that explain how to remove the validation bubbles, but > I'm looking to display validation bubbles similar to how it's possible to > record form errors to <t:errors/> after a 'failed' form submission. > > I have tight spacing in the UI layout and having to accommodate for the > <t:errors/> isn't much of an option as it shifts the layout down and takes > up valuable vertical space.
