Re: checkbox validation prob

hi, yes it is a tos thing
I did different tries...

class DoIAgree(formencode.FancyValidator):
    messages = {'my_empty': 'Do u agree or not?',
                            'missingValue': 'I Am Missing'}
    def _to_python(self, value, state):
        raise formencode.Invalid(self.message("my_empty", state), value, 
state)

# TRY 0
tos = validators.NotEmpty(if_missing='' , messages={'empty': 'I am empty'})
# TRY 1
tos = formencode.All(validators.NotEmpty(if_missing=''), DoIAgree())
# TRY 1-1
tos = formencode.All(validators.NotEmpty(), DoIAgree())
# TRY 2
tos = DoIAgree()
 # TRY 3
tos = validators.NotEmpty(messages={'empty': 'I am empty', 
'missingValue': 'I Am Missing'})

nothing works, either the schema catches the missing cb and sends back a 
"missing value" message
that i have no idea how to customize it
or i put a if_missing='' and nothing is called,
i dont know formencode very well..., what exactly do you call a schema 
validation
i may be missing something :-)
