Hi guys,

I am new to smarty, after reading all these articles, i am still stuck n not sure how it works. I also noticed there are not many people using smartyvalidate class? not many posts under addson.

{validate form="form1" field="address" criteria="notEmpty" message="address cannot be empty"}

above e.g. show to validate form1 and address field which criteria is notEmpty. the message is 'address cannot be empty'

if i dun enter any value to the address field, and i hit "submit" . what will i get?

unlike javascript, i can set alert('address cannot be empty'); but smartyvalidate, how it works? i know it is checked at serverside, but how does the server display the error message at the client side?

thanks.

Probably because SmartyValidate is pretty new, only a month or two old.

The error message is displayed by the tag itself when you redraw the form (after is_valid() fails.) Alternatively, you can assign your error messages to a template variable and then use that instead.

Try the examples that come with SmartyValidate, maybe it will become clearer.
