present validation error under inputtext field in Salesforce
Hi, I have VF page with different types of fields and validation rules. When it comes to picklists etc I managed to get a nice ‘validation’ error message right under the effected field. However for input text fields it seems this is not supported.
In my custom controller I added the following line but the error is only shown inside the page message section (VF) and not like for other fields under the field itself
- ourcase.status.addError(‘you are not allowed to select this status);
- ourcase.Solution_Description__c.addError(‘Solution description is mandatory when closing a case’);
The Solution_description__c field is a text field.

Hi Jos,
Here’s the code! Maybe it’s helpful for others
VF page:<apex:outputLabel value=”Postcode”></apex:outputLabel><br><apex:inputText styleClass=”{!classInputPostalCode}” value=”{!postalCode}”/><br><apex:outputText value=”{!errorMessage}” styleClass=”errorMsg” rendered=”{!LEN(errorMessage)>0}”/>
Controller code:
public String classInputPostalCode {get;set;}<br>public String postalCode {get;set;}<br>public String errorMessage {get;set;}<br><br>public void validate() {<br> if (error) {<br> classInputPostalCode = ‘error’; // put the errorclass, red borders<br> errorMessage = ‘Postal code not found’;<br> } else {<br> classInputPostalCode = ”;<br> errorMessage = ”;<br> }<br>}

Hi,
You can use following code in your apex controller to get error message to respective field.
ObjectInstance.FieldName.AddError(‘Your Error message’)
for example if you have contact object and you want to display error message in lastName field then you can do like following
Contact con = new contact();
con.LastName.addError(‘Please fill contact Name’);
