Spry and DW CS3

Question

I'm just trying out the Spry features in DW CS3. I set up to
validate a
textfield on a form. And added a hint for a email format, but
here's my
problem.
If users don't type anything in the form at submit it, it
still processes
the hinted email address as the users email address.
Is there a way to get Spry to recoginze that the the hint
isn't what is
suppose to be processed????
Does that make sense??

Hi Steve,
I tried the use-case you described here, but seems to work
for me. When I try to submit the form, the required message
appears. What browser do you use?
The code for my example is posted below.
Please let me know more details about your problem.
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<span id="sprytextfield1">
<input type="text" name="textfield" id="textfield" />
<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">A value is
required.</span>
<span class="textfieldInvalidFormatMsg">Invalid
format.</span>
</span>
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button"
value="Submit" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var sprytextfield1 = new
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield1", "email",
{hint:"[email protected]"});
//-->
</script>
