RE: [ic] Ok so Im an idiot, but its still broken...[error ] tag

["Cameron B. Prince" <cameron@akopia.com>]

Originally, the construct demo was setup to only check for errors on the
checkout page.

It seems there is a bug in the error checking code addition to the account
page.

I'll look into this,

Thanks,

Cameron

    But the if statement is already in the account form.  It all seems to be
in
there, here's the test they have:

FROM VIRGIN ACCOUNT.HTML

[if type=explicit compare="[error all=1 show_var=1 keep=1]"]
<P>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>There were
errors in your last submission.</b>
<br>
They are shown in <FONT COLOR=__CONTRAST__>__CONTRAST__</FONT> below.</FONT>
<P>
[/if]

    That implies to me that the page should be checking for all required
fields
when the submit button is pressed.  This simply is not what is happening.

    I don't think the intent was to wait till a user checked out to check
the
information they entered in the Customer Service area.  That would simply be
wrong.  :-)
