Re: warning if a required field is left empty

Hi -- In XForms 1.0 you can listen for the xforms-submit-error event,
dispatched on the relevant <submission> element.  This event is used to
signal, among other things, required but missing data.  See section 11.1 of
the spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms/#submit).

In XForms 1.1 the xforms-submit-error is augmented with context information
that allows you to test specifically for this condition vs. other possible
causes of a failed submission.

Hi,

I have an xform with several required fields. If the user leaves one
of them blank and presses the submit button, nothing happens. How
could I add a warning message saying "You didn't fill all the required
fields." ? I don't want to detail which fields are missing, I just
want a general warning.

Thanks,

Laszlo
