Custom Error Message for inputtext

Hi

 

i need to display custom error message for a required inputtext. How is it achievable.

 

I have tried

 

ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.ERROR,'Subject is required'));
return null;

 

in controller method

 

and

 

<apex:pageBlock>

<apex:pageMessages ></apex:pageMessages>

<apex:pageblockSectionItem id="taskid" >
                            <apex:outputLabel value="Subject" />
                            <apex:outputPanel id="panel"  >
                                <div class="requiredInput">
                    <div class="requiredBlock"></div>
                    <apex:inputText label="Subject" value="{!Taskt}" required="true"/>
                </div>
                
                </apex:outputPanel>
                    </apex:pageblockSectionItem>

</apex:pageBlock>

 

  in page.

 

But its not helpful . kindly provide your ideas.

Hi,

you have done a small mistake here.

please check your variable null check as :

 

if(Taskt==null || Taskt.length() == 0 ) {

    system.debug('Error validation');
    ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.ERROR,'Subject is required'));
     return null;

}

You'll have to handle this server side and decorate the page to make the field look like a required one.

 

I've written a blog post that should give you a heads up on this:

Hi,

If you want to display your own message then you don't need to use  required="true" in your inputText.

You need to use server side validation in your code like:

 

if( Taskt == null || Taskt.length() == 0 )  {

ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.ERROR,'Subject is required'));
return null;

}

 

 

Please let me know if u have any problem and if this post helps you plz give KUDOS by click on star at left.
