Ok, I have short question on how to implement the following.

I have a dialog with a form, and the dialog has a submit button (and a cancel button). Now what i want is this. When the user presses the submit button, the form should be sumitted using ajax. This form submission is then handled server side by my script.

Now I would like to have the following behaviour. I'd like to have a callback function by which I can figure out whether the form submission was succesfull, ie. did the user enter all compulory fields or did he enter a correct email address etc. If the callback informs me that the form submission was succesfull in that sense, i want the dialog to close. Else i want to display some warning telling the user to modify the form contents and I want to be able to update the form contents (include red error messages for example).

How to do this?

Thanks already,

Seldon

Look at the comment dialog example found in the "BasicDialog, YAHOO.ext.View and more" blog post. It does something similar.
