AEM Forms - Adding a class to field error

[#1]

Hi,

I have to override the div for error message on my form fields. I can see that the div is appended in the guideruntime.js markError function.

To override this my thoughtw were to:

* use the guidebridge event listener for validation complete

* remove the ootb div

* Add my custom div

My div is added but it appears that validation complete is actually called before the error is added to the DOM.

* Is there another listener that could be used?

* Or another approach to achieve the same result in javascript

Thanks,

James

In the end I ended up adding a mutataion observer listening for changes on each field added via guidebridge visit.

When the OOTB error message is added, I remove it.

Then in the guidebridge on elementValidationStatusChanged listener I add/remove my custom div.

Not ideal, but it works.

Thanks,

James

Hi James,

I didn't replace the OOTB div but intercepted it using JS and updated the text inside.

guideBridge.validate(radiobutton);

var Children  = document.getElementById('guideContainer-rootPanel-panel1392575902787-guideradiobutton__').children;

Children[2].innerHTML='New Test error';

guideContainer-rootPanel-panel1392575902787-guideradiobutton__  is my radio group div id.

Unfortunately that will only change the text of the error. The html and styling of my errors messages are very particular . Different number of divs different classes etc

Hi James,

Wasn't validateExpMessage helpful in such a case?

Great! I shall give this a go tomorrow.

But I suspect it is what I am after 

Thanks,
