Apex Code Development You need to sign in to do that
Don't have an account?
textual field validation - how do you do it
im not really loving the way required fields are handled
- sometimes it wont let me change rendered boxes, like an edit view vs a read view (get stuck in edit mode)
- the error message isnt always clear : j_id0:j_id2:j_id10:EditInfo:j_id23:j_id29:j_id33: Validation Error: Value is required.
- sometimes the indicator is missing
i feel like im going to have to hand validate each field on this massive form: native account and contact fields with other custom fields
how do you end up getting the most out of coding and not having to worry about every single field?
unfortunately, saying required="true" just isnt really as user friendly as we need it to be

Do nto forget add tag <apex:pageMessages id="messages" /> to the page and rerender it after user click on save. I recommend you add some graphic sign next to required fields like salesforce do it (red vertical line)
