Validations: Page is still submited?

Question

I have 2 page-level validations on a page. I have specified the error message for both to display "Inline with field and in notifiation"
If the first one fails, shouldnt everything stop and display the error message?
I find that even if both validations fails, the page is still submitted and displays (incorrect) results (in a subsequent query region) along with the validation error messages!
What am I missing? I thought that if any validation fails, the page is not submitted.
Thanks

Answer 1

So how do I prevent a page from being submitted if some data validations are not passed?Validations happen after the page is submitted (unless you do them on the page with javascript, of course).
for a subsequent query region to work properlySubsequent to what? Regions are never subsequent to validations. Regions are rendered first during show processing, the page is submitted, then validations fire. If validations fail, regions are redrawn using the same database session in order to display the validation error messages in context.
If you want to suppress a query region based on session state or anything else, use conditions. There is even a condition (and its converse) that recognizes that inline validation errors are being displayed.
