Hello Joern,
I attached this form the first time around, because it is much easier to
see the problem than to explain it. In case it did not come through,
here it is again. Thanks,
Zach

Hello Zach,
thanks for reporting this - we're working on firefix by default and so
the ie-xforms.css is not in such a good shape. i recently experienced
a similar problem. which repeat appearance are you using in your form?
can you maybe even provide a complete form for testing?

Hello All,
I think I have discovered a problem with the way repeat elements are
rendered in combination with the ie-xforms.css. It is a bit
obnoxious to see, so if my explanation is lengthy just check out the
attached form and see for yourself.
When a repeat element is rendered, it is surrounded by a table
element. This is fine, until there is a constraint or a required
attribute on a member of the repeat. When the alert message should
be displayed on a member of a repeat, that alert message gets a
class="invalid" attached to it, which should make it visible and
red. However, because the surrounding repeat element, which creates
an HTML table, has a class="valid", this cascades down and overrides
the display property, setting it to "none" and causing the alert to
be hidden from view.
It is hard to see in IE, since I don't know of a way to look at the
DOM from within IE. However, using chiba-0.9.7 and the Firefox
DOMInspector, I edit the attached form with the css forced to be the
ie-xforms.css, and attempt to get the alert to show and it fails.
Using the DOMInspector, I then look a the CSS Style rules, and it has
both an invalid class, and a valid class affecting it. However, from
the HTML source, there is only a class="invalid" on the alert element
itself, although the surrounding repeat element's table has a
class="valid".
I have also verified that nothing significant has changed in
ie-xforms.css, html4.xsl, or html-form-controls.xsl since version
0.9.7, so I think it should be reproducable as long as you force the
css to be ie-xforms.css in later versions of chiba. Anyone have any
ideas how to get this alert to show when appropriate? Thanks,
Zach Roberts
