[Portfolio] Form validation question

[Sean Keesler]

With the default form renderer, a select box is created when you have
a string with enumerated choices as an element.
It seems like you could create a custom renderer that would create a
select box for just that string field...and not validate it against an
enumerated list.

I've got the list to update from an xml file, but when I select one of the options form the dynamically generated list, the validation of the form fails, indicating that the option I chose wasn't a valid choice, i.e. wasn't in the list.  So my question is, does anyone know where the validation takes place?  I'd like to see if I can modify this to also compare against my external list.
