Java Development Tools

Hello everyone,

I have a simple question to ask. I have a create form with serveral required fields and some dependant drop downs. When I select a value in one drop down the form autosubmits and triggers the field validation which immediately displays an error. I do not want this to happen as the user has not attempted to save the record, is there a way to bypass the validation until the save button is pressed?

I tried to set immediate=true for the drop down but this does not work. (Works fine for buttons)

Cheers,

Peter
