[TYPO3-project-formidable] Submit mode=clear issue with form in renderlet:box

Sat Dec 6 01:14:01 CET 2008

I have a simple form to edit fe_users with a new button that clears the 
form:

        <renderlet:SUBMIT name="btn-new" label="New" mode="clear"/>

This works fine.  But, if my form is inside a renderlet:BOX, the clear 
event is fired but the validator still runs and the form is generated 
with validation messages like "Name is required" - though the form is 
clearing.  (I want it in a BOX so I can hide it)

Here's the snippet of debug when I click NEW:

#7 - HANDLING --- CLEAR OR SEARCH --- SUBMIT EVENT
(Total exec. time: 0.067 sec)
Toggle details
NO VALIDATION REQUIRED

#8 - VALIDATOR[STANDARD][required] on 'edition-box.name', TYPE [TEXT]
(Total exec. time: 0.083 sec)
Toggle details
!NULL!

I am now using the latest version 2.0.284SVN.

Any help is appreciated.
