alert message

Hi everyone !

I do not understand how <xforms:alert> works.
I follow instructions in the doc. But no message is displayed after defining an alert message for an <xforms:input> like this :

<xforms:input ref="title">
<xforms:label class="fixed-width">Title</xforms:label>
<xforms:alert>this is an alert</xforms:alert>
</xforms:input>

Thanks !

Re: alert message

Sorry for bugging you !

P.S.: I really enjoy developping on Orbeon ;-)

Didier,

When the field is bound to an invalid control, an exclamation mark is
displayed next to the control, and as you mouse over the exclamation
mark, a tool-tip is displayed. See the attached alert.png.

We are thinking of ways to improve this in the future, as it is not
clear that you can get more information my moving the mouse over the
exclamation mark. If you have suggestions, please let us know.

Re: alert message

Yep. I saw it afterwards as I've written in my second mail about this
subject.

You're right. It's not trivial for users to catch error messages by
moving their mouse onto this mark.

A good alternative is presented in the government form example. A
summary table is created based on those alert messages.

Instead of creating explicitly this dialog table, an alert tag would
automatically generate a message at a defined place in the form when a
user submit it...for instance...
