Displaying Validate errors to users using Spring, WebFlow, Dojo and Dijit

Question

I am working on a Spring WebFlow project that is using Dojo (dijit) for the forms and if the user does now fill in a textfield that is required the field does turn red on the click of the submit button. But radio buttons and checkboxes dont..

1) How can I make a radio button and checkbox act like text fields and turn red?

2) How can I change the following code popup a messages that the user has to fix some text fields.

<input type="submit" name="_eventId_submit" id="submit" value="Submit"  tabindex="11" />
<script type="text/javascript">
            Spring.addDecoration(new Spring.ValidateAllDecoration({
                elementId : 'submit',
                event : 'onclick'
            }));
        </script>

for 1) I guess you could use the `validate` function of your radiobutton and checkbox to change the color via javascript. — rptmat57, Oct 16 '12 at 15:47

for 2) you can use Spring.validateAll() instead of the ValidateAllDecoration. (you have to remove the ValidateAllDecoration)

the function Spring.validateAll() return true or false depending on the validation results.

something like that on the onClick:

onclick="if(!Spring.validateAll()){alert('errors')}else{Spring.submitForm(...)}"

should work
