I put this JS demo together about a year ago. http://www.fireartist.com/tmp/client-side-constraint.html It supports filters & constraints and uses the same error markup that server-side validation would generate. At the moment, it uses an old version of dojo. It would probably be best to have the more advanced functionality (such as class name changes) isolated in core functions, and allow them to be implemented in different frameworks - and have the individual constraints, filters, etc only use standard JS. Although, if someone's willing to write the necessary functions in cross-browser JS so that we don't need an external library, that would be great. I created the branch /branches/auto-js for this, but have never checked the changes in, so I'll probably need to start from scratch as the internals have changed so much since the branch was made. I imagine it being implemented such that you can switch it on with something like: clientside_validation: 1 clientside_library: 'Dojo' Carl _______________________________________________ HTML-FormFu mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/html-formfu
