Hi, That's a helper I created a while back and it will work on 2.2.4, although you might want to get the latest version from GitHub
https://github.com/vz28bh/CakePHP-JqueryValidationHelper In that version I recommend opening the form like below, just to make things a little cleaner. <?php echo $this->JqueryValidation->createHorizontal('User'); ?> Also, make sure you include Jquery itself echo $this->Html->script('jquery.min'); and have defined some validation criteria in your models 'username' => array( 'notempty' => array( 'rule' => array('notempty'), //'message' => 'Your custom message here', //'allowEmpty' => false, //'required' => false, ), ), If you can get Firefox with Firebug installed you can see if there are any Javascript problems. I assume "server side" means you only get validation after clicking submit, which would be using the Cake model validation instead of Javascript.
