Error description

• Environment: Windows 7
  Product name: IBM? Rational? Business Developer
  
  Program Version    :  9.0
  Description.
  Issues have been observed with Dojo validation specifically
  concerning showErrorIndicator/showErrorMessage usage.
  
  In some scenarios, eg loosing field focus, once the widget's
  errorIndicator, errorMessage options are set it's state is not
  retrieved, the validstate is not set so getting the current
  validstate,showErrorIndicator values is then in turn not
  returned. It should be possible to be able to set the errorstate
  and errormessage regardless of gaining or leaving focus and
  thereafter reading it's errorstate when validating.
  
  Development have advised that the validation is triggered with
  any widget related operation eg obtain focus in a widget, type
  characters, request valid status of a widget etc, the validation
  will be applied as much as possible so that the valid status
  returned from EGL widget is always up to date, however there is
  a discrepancy where the status returned is null which means no
  error is returned.
