[Vtigercrm-developers] Custom views with form fields

[Richard Hills]

With a bit of work I have now got a custom Edit.js which is almost 
working as required. The only thing I believe I am now missing is 
validation of the fields prior to submit.

Is anyone able to give me some details as to how this can be achieved?
