Ya Patrick,
I do have that thought. But when the user clicks the first error and
fills the field, he/she has to come back to the list of errors to find
the next error message, then for third and so on. When the form have
more fields and errors are more it will be amberasing.
Another way that is running out of my mind is
The list will be as usual. The the text field will have a value in it
with the error message. This appears only with the error field and
disappears when user starts typing in it.
For the dropdowns user will be provided with default option as mandatory
and optional. So the user will not leave it un selected.
Thanks
Rakesh.
