[iam-dev] Behavior of POM Editor on Validation

[Korina Cordero <kcordero@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm looking into cleaning up the validation pop-ups that I initially put 
for URL text fields.  I might do some more validation for a few more 
text fields too.

The old scenario used to show a pop up window when the URL doesn't start 
with the proper text( http://, https:// etc.), which I admit is not too 
elegant.

Abel directed me to this site that has a more cleaner method: 
http://toedter.com/blog/?p=36
where a little red X will be displayed beside the text field when the 
text field contains invalid input.  My next question is this:  Once the 
little red x is shown, do we allow the user to save the changes done to 
the POM Editor?  Or do we force the user to enter valid input and only 
allow the user to save once everything passes validation?

Another question I have is, aside from URL, are there any other text 
fields that we might need to validate?  Like email, group ID, artifact 
ID, etc.?

thanks,
Korina
