Hi Mike, it seems like you want to do some validation to improve the user experience, give them some feedback etc.
Without knowing the exact use cases I would go with a combination of client- and server-side validation. On client's side you can go with one of the various jQuery form validation plugins that suits your needs. On the other hand it's not that big of a deal to write some custom JavaScript to check for some basic things, like completion of questions etc. But I would like to stress the point that you definitely should validate the most important things on the server-side (validation in models, see http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_validations.html). To be absolutely sure, you should check the rules on client-side again on server side. Good luck! Max Am Montag, 14.
