Input Validation and Focus

[CI-CUBE]

Hi Iso,

I tried two different ways of FormItem value validation, your Validators as well as own validation in a handler function. As soon as I change the icon the intra focus of the text field jumps to the last position. In most cases if you enter a value from scratch this does not matter, in case of editing it does.

Any comments?

Thx,

Ekki

Changing the form icon causes the entire field to be redrawn which loses the caret position. You must take care to obtain and restore it. Built-in validation takes care of this when showing the error icon.

Even built-in validation makes trouble (in this sense)...

Manual save-and-restore of intra-text focus would be an option but it seems the API for doing so is missing, at least on the S'GWT level...
