[ic] Is it possible to use the Error Tag on non checkout forms?

[Brian Kosick]

Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out whether it is possible to use the error tag on a 
page that doesn't lead to a order.  Ideally, I would like to setup a 
profile in etc/profile.order, or profile.search, while, it looks like I can 
to it, by using a combination of mv_check and in-page [set][/set] routines, 
I would really like to use a profile, instead of having to (it seems) 
recreate the wheel with each form, that I need to do checking on.

example:

[if type=explicit compare="[error all=1 show_var=1 keep=1]"]
     <P>
         <B>There were errors in your last submission:<br>
         <blockquote>
         <FONT color="__CONTRAST__">
                 [error all=1 keep=1 show_error=1 show_label=1 joiner="<br>"]
         </font>
         </blockquote>
         </p>
         <p>
     The areas you need to correct are shown in
     <FONT color="__CONTRAST__">this color</FONT> below.</B>
     </p>
