Re: Forms 5.0 Error Trapping

A better way for displaying error messages: In the forms-builder define an ALERT (you find it in the object browser). Give it a name (e.g. my_alert) and define a alert text in the property panel. In the on-error trigger you may change the altert text. Then use show_alert ( 'my_alert' ).
