Hi,

I'm having a problem using the actionFunction

My page have a buttom [Add New Car] that creates a empty Custom Object and show a form to allow the user to define the object properties

PAGE

<apex:form >
  <apex:actionFunction name="Add_Car" action="{!showAdd_Car}" rerender="Container_Car" status="myStatus" />

  <apex:actionFunction name="CancelAction" action="{!cancelActionr}" rerender="Container_Car" status="myStatus" />

.....

<a class="btn" onclick="Add_Car();" href="#">Add a new Car</a>

......

<apex:outputPanel id="Container_Car" rendered="{!IF(showForm=='showAdd_Car', 'true', 'false')}">
   <h3>New Car</h3>

   <apex:inputField value="{!currentCar.Name}" />

......

<a class="btn" href="#" onclick="SaveObject();">Save Changes</a>
<a class="btn" href="#" onclick="CancelAction();">Cancel</a>

</apex:outputPanel>

</apex:form>

CONTROLLER

public PageReference showAdd_ShipToAddress() {
  currentCar = new Car__c(); 
  showForm = 'showAdd_Car';
  return null;
}

public PageReference cancelAction () {
    currentCar = new Car__c();
   return null;
}

______________________________________________________________________

The first part, show the form, works great. 

My problem is the cancel action.

When I click on the cancel button, the server side is called, but before my action cancelAction be called, the currentCar object is validated and return some message errors because the inputFields for the validade properties are empty.

Is it possible to disable the object validation before I submit? 

Or how do I intercept the call before the object is validade in the controller?

thanks a lot
