Thanks Jose for the idea.
Here is what I came up with:
if form.errors:
panel_to_show = ''
for field in form.errors:
if field in ['w4_filing_status']:
panel_to_show = 'collapseOne'
break
elif field in ['w4_two_jobs']:
panel_to_show = 'collapseTwo'
break
elif field in ['w4_qualifying_dependents', 'w4_other_dependents']:
panel_to_show = 'collapseThree'
break
else:
panel_to_show = 'collapseFour'
break
response.js = '$("#collapseOne").collapse("hide");
$("#%s").collapse("show");' % panel_to_show
This is working well for me so far. Again, many thanks to Jose for getting
my mind in the right place on this.
