I hit this problem about a month ago, just from a
different perspective.
I developed code for a new type of question (constant
sum), where the respondent could key in varying
numbers in several fields for a single answer. (E.G,
spread 100 points across the following four
possibilities.)
My dilemma on error checking was: what if the person
distributed too many or too few points across the
fields.
When the error trapping occurred and redisplayed the
form, a list of questions with errors would be
displayed right beneath the heading AND all the values
keyed by the respondent would be gone.
Discussed it in the development group with Chris and
Matthew. We came up with some possible solutions, but
I decided to wait until Kon was available to pursue my
possible solutions with him.
Guess that puts me in the category of: aware but not
enlightened.
I was more concerned with solving the error trapping
problem rather than pursuing the 'missing' form
information. But knew that solving the error trapping
problem would provide the data I needed for the other.
