OK I have reproduced your code on my machine. I blanked out the First name and pressed Submit. Then I did File .. View Source There I can see that it generates <div class="error" id="testfield1__error">cannot be empty!</div>
So we 'simply' have to scour the web2py source code to look for where the CRUD and or FORM framework code generates a <div class="error" ... Then we need to figure out what it needs to make that happen.. On May 3, 2:51 pm, Gary <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks to all for your input and suggestions.
