Re: Data validation, mapping, and error handling

[Michael_Schutte@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Can you not still use client-side scripting once you've determined there's
an error?

Maybe there is a JSF keyword, but you are having trouble finding it, and I
certainly do not know enough to give you the answer.  But if it was me, I
check to see if there's an error message and then change the class using
client-side scripting to get around the issue at hand.
