to ianare

thanks for your report, I have fixed it. Because I just used validateOnChange, so I haven't found this problem before.

Problem with radiolists

Great extension, a real time saver and takes a load off the server ;-)

One problem though : it will not properly validate radiolist items. This is because it will not look for the value in the 'name' attribute but in 'id', which isn't identical to id for the case of radio lists.

Thanks

to hung5s

I think it will be better to set the default value of public property enableAjaxValidation true, as follow:

class EActiveForm extends CACtiveForm
{
    public $enableAjaxValidation = true;
    public $attributesVar = 'attributes';
}

Great! thanks

This is just great ! Thanks a lot.

I added public function init(){ $this->enableAjaxValidation = true; $this->clientOptions['validateOnSubmit'] = true; } because only reason i change Yii generated code to EActiveForm is js validation and it needs the options.
