SharePoint Form - Advanced Validation Error Handling

Question

Our company wants to create a more user friendly and branded way of handling user errors when validating InfoPath Forms. We would like to create a message box that essentially would be more descriptive for fields that where inputted incorrectly. The clearest way we see going about this adding custom JavaScript. What are some the best ways of going about this?

This is an open ended thread, so I would love to hear any suggestions or advice.

Answer 1

Instead of the normal validation rules you use in InfoPath, you could simply use rules. In the rule have it use a formula to check to see if the value is in the expected range and then change styles, etc., to show your validation error.
