Hi Henk,
You are asking this in the context of a form you are writing "by hand", not creating with Form Builder, right? The XForms engine will validate fields as users interact with the form no matter what, but you could:
- add a class on the document element
- write CSS that hides alerts when that class is present
- remove it on form submission, so the alerts show
Is this something that could work for you?
