How to change web javascript validation messages

Cláudia Macedo

Question

When creating your Web applications, you can define the messages that you want to present to the end-user when the validation fails.
OutSystems Service Studio provides you some default messages but you can specify your own messages, in the eSpace properties (To access to the properties of an eSpace, you have to select the eSpace, in the eSpace tree, and set the properties directly on the Properties window or by pressing More...).
You might want to change these messages to translate them to the language of your application.

The messages you specify can contain html, for instance, if you want to change the color of these validation messages, you just have to add the following HTML code to each message:

<SPAN style=color:red;>Required Field</SPAN>

For further reference please go to Service Studio Help and search for "Validation Messages".
