Since you wrote that this is something like a special case, whilst i'm
finding myself using it over and over again, I'm wondering if there is
a better/more standard way to put error message raised by a chained
validator near a specific form field.
Or, if the chained validator is the standard way to solve my problem.
Basically, what I'm trying to do is to check if a field fulfill a
certain constraint where the constraint varies with the value of
another field. I thought that checking each field per se (according
their own validation rules) and then checking them in combination
(using a chained validator) was a good approach, but I'm a beginner so
I might be wrong. Is there any more standar way to get this done?
TIA,
Andrea
