I've got the feeling that you should take a closer look at my plugin. The stuff you mentioned is not that fancy and already covered. Looking at the links you posted, I haven't seen anything new at all. I know the initial "really easy" Prototype based validation and adapted some concepts from them. The "guide to unobtrusive javascript validation" features hidden fields, classes and custom attributes for metadata. I never considered hidden fields as they are rather obtrusive and cause more data to be submitted then I'd like to. Both classes and custom attributes are supported by my plugin. And the mootools validation says that is only a rewrite of the Prototype one based on mootools. The code can and should be packaged into one file, required are only jQuery and the validation plugin itself, in case you prefer to specify validation rules via JavaScript instead of metadata. The validation script itself is more then 50% documentation/comments, it's pretty small when compressed. Mike is working on some nice integration with the form plugin, that should be more convenient then a custom submit handler. -- Jörn Zaefferer http://bassistance.de _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
