ruby forms will be compatible with 1.4, I will probably released it next week,

@Kevin I like your ideas, and a beforesent option would be nice, as for using the bassistance plugin,

I needed a script that would be custom to my need and would be blazing fast to impliment, and this is doing it 90% of the time, and when it’s not, it is really easy to modify it.

One more thing – any validation that has a regex in it must be called as ‘custom[validation]‘
For example, if your field needs the email validator rule, then you need -

Bug that will affect RoR users – If the id of a field contains ‘[]‘ then the prompts are not disappearing even after the field’s error is addressed.

This would be a great plugin, if you didn’t take so much control away from the user. As far as I can see there are two options once the form validates: call the submit event, or use your prescribed ‘ajax event’ which is limited in customization to the URL!!! Unfortunately I’ve got a lot more work I need to do after validation and before I submit the form via ajax. I need to wire up callbacks for an ajax loader, dialog close event, ajax preload event and an ajax success event.

why can’t we do this:

if(“#formid”).isValid() {
// do all the work I need to do
// Call my custom ajax method
} else return;

As far as I can see the only options we have are to submit the form or to use your ajax method.

I think you would have a far far better product if you picked up the official (yet abandoned) JQuery.Validate plugin, and enhanced it to make use of your beautiful tooltips. Thus providing a cutting edge and highly extensible validation system, with some very nice eye candy.

I’m copying part of the demoSubmit.html file and I can’t fint why, when it works, the form gets submitted twice and to success messages appear.

Any ideas?

I have tried various regex for file extensions, but non of them work. Has anyone got one that works!? They worked on the older versions.

[...] A jQuery inline form validation, because validation is a mess Të Position AbsoluteWhen it comes to form validation, it’s hard to have a versatile solution that works with every form. Figuring out how to display errors is not a simple task. This is something I tried to remedy with this script. When an error needs to be displayed, the script creates a div and positions it in the top right corner of the input. This way you don’t have to worry about your HTML form structure. The rounded corner and shadow are done with CSS3 and degrade well in non compliant browsers. There is no images needed. [...]

But when I populate this div with some content I bind validationengine on #AddCategoryParamForm

Nice Tools
But one missing thing is show alert in Left side of fields, When Page direction set to RTL We need to show message in Left Side of field but in this version it is impossible
