jQuery Form Validation

[nvanprooyen]

I hate forms. One of the things I hate most (beyond getting them to render correctly in IE when using pure CSS), is handling validation and presenting the issues in a visually appealing manner, without compromising the layout / structure of the form. I was looking for a solution to this and ran into this jQuery plugin:

A jQuery inline form validation, because validation is a mess Position Absolute, resources for the web developer

Figured a few of you around here would appreciate it. Super easy to implement and it looks good.

Just make sure you always validate server side too

We have been getting rid of Smarty validation (finally!) in favor of jquery, and our whole programming team is excited about this, as smarty has been a pain, and jquery is so much easier to use.

Good post. Once you get the hang of jquery validation, it's really the way to go. Remember you should also do server side validation as well, don't always rely on javascript for it.

sure, and ppl who have js disabled (or disable it on purpose on your page / block the js file with adblock) can input whatever they want in your forms, right?
