xforms:alert/ xforms:message

> Hi,
>
> I am trying to display error message pop ups using XForms to display client side validation messages similar to Javascript alerts. I tried <xf:message> and <xf:alert>. Both didn't work.
>
> I want to display an error message when the user types something in a text box (<xf:input>) and takes the focus out of that text box(DomFocusOut). For example, I want to display the text "Please enter a positive integer" when the focus is changed from the text box. I have given <xf:bind> for that text box reference. It shows a red exclamation mark for invalid entries. But I want to display my custom text as well.
>
>
> I tried <xf:message>. It worked for only one case - when I entered a string instead of a positive integer and clicked inside the same window(not on any controls like text boxes) using the mouse. It is not working when I move to the next control using Tab. Again it is not working when I entered negative numbers.
>
> This is my <xf:bind> tag:
>
> <xf:bind nodeset="myField" type="xs: positiveInteger"/>
>
> and this is my <xf:input> tag:
>
> <xf:input ref="myField">
> <xf:label>The field:</xf:label>
> <xf:message level="modal" ev:event="xforms-invalid">
> Please enter a positive integer
> </xf:message>
> </xf:input>
>
> I got to know that these bugs are Orbeon specific. These are working fine with Mozilla XForms engine. Why such inconsistencies? Is there any work around? So please suggest the best method for client side validations which display pop up messages on DOMFocusOut.

> Many Thanks

> Hi Alex,
>
> I copied the code which you had sent. It is displaying the error message (xforms:message) when I enter a char string instead of a positive integer. But when I enter a negative number its not working. I am using OXF Studio for Eclipse (version 1.2.2).
>
> Tabs is also not working properly. Its working fine in the example which you had sent because there is only one input control. I added one more text box. Then when I pressed tab key from the first text box (after entering some invalid input) the message for invalid inputs does not pop up. I understand that this happens because control is moved to the 2nd text box.
