There are severalexamples in the General Store and Classifieds sites.There are some earlier posts regarding handling error conditions fromwithin WebCat using [showif][hideif]s. You may also modify the messagereturned by [requiredfieds] by editing the errors.db that WC references(although Grant doesn't recommend it).hope that helps.-marty>I have had Wecat for only two weeks and perhps I am missing something.>>One thing that I notice is that there is little ability to give out error>pages when there is data missing or not inputed correctly.
