Re: Moving nested if statements out of the view.

If you're concerned that the user won't immediately notice if there's
an error (unlikely, as the form is redisplayed, but whatever) just add
this at the top:

if (!empty($form->validationErrors)) {

and include a notice that there were errors and to check below (where
the errors are displayed with each element). Displaying errors one at
a time would be a huge waste of time for the user.
