Abstract
An inline error notification method. An error notification method can include detecting in a form-based submit, at least one validation error based upon a value provided through an input-element in a markup specified form. Upon detecting a validation error, a row can be inserted in the markup specified form in a position which is proximate to the input-element. In particular, the row can be assigned a background color which differs from other colors which are visible in proximity to the inserted row. Error text can be selected which corresponds to the validation error. Subsequently, the selected error text can be inserted in the row. An anchor tag can be further inserted in the markup specified form in a position which is proximate to the input-element. Finally, the markup specified form can be served in a response to the form-based submit, the response referencing the anchor tag.
