form validation question

[fastmap]

Roo generated code... for form:create.tagx

<div class="submit" id="${fn:escapeXml(id)}_submit">
          <spring:message code="button_save" var="save_button"/>
          <script type="text/javascript">Spring.addDecoration(new Spring.ValidateAllDecoration({elementId:'proceed', event:'onclick'}));</script>
          <input id="proceed" type="submit" value="${fn:escapeXml(save_button)}"/>
</div>

I need a Dojo button

So I add a Spring decoration to the button.

<script type="text/javascript">
    dojo.require("dijit.form.Button");
  </script>

<div class="submit" id="${fn:escapeXml(id)}_submit">
          <spring:message code="button_save" var="save_button"/>
          <script type="text/javascript">Spring.addDecoration(new Spring.ValidateAllDecoration({elementId:'proceed', event:'onclick'}));</script>
          <input id="proceed" type="submit" value="${fn:escapeXml(save_button)}"/>

<!-- Added this -->

<script type="text/javascript">
             Spring.addDecoration(new Spring.ElementDecoration({elementId : 'proceed', widgetType : 'dijit.form.Button', 
            	 widgetAttrs : { label: '${fn:escapeXml(save_button)}'}
  		       })); 
           </script>
</div>

Submitting an empty form by adding this decoration submits the form instead of flagging errors...

any ideas?

Thanks,

I guess you need to register an onclick event for your button to hook into the validate all decoration. You can also try to change the sequence in which you declare the button and the validate all decoration.

Why do you need a special dojo button in the first place? The create form already offers a CSS styled button.

Stefan,

I did try that.

We are using a dojo button that has an icon.
