I'm a +1 for obtaining unobtrusive JS validation that falls back onto the defined validation constraints in the models. It appears your patch covers a bit more than just serving up the relevant JSON. Maybe reducing it and cleaning it up would be beneficial. Also, consider the user-callbacks that can be used for more advanced validation -- they can't exactly be described directly in JSON... Because of this, It's potential that at least part of the validation will have to be done with XHR. If part of it has to be passed back to php, why not all of it? Sure, a speed hit for the simple stuff but I think if you treated all the fields in the same manner you could gain some simplicity. Anyhow, it seems like most of this could be accomplished with a component and a small method in a controller -- without core modification. -- Travis --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
