The only problem with this is that just about every JS library does validation differently. Dojo, for instance, allows you to specify these as attributes to your <input>, <select>, and <textarea> tags, using a specific attribute; others do similarly... but all slightly differently. Another options is that ZF generates JS, but, frankly, I don't want to go there. :-) Probably easiest from a ZF perspective is to do server-side validation of elements; this can be achieved relatively simply on the ZF side, and would allow developers to use their JS library of choice for making the request. We could then gather tutorials on how various libraries achieve this. > > Not yet; I hope to have a full proposal out later in the week; more on > > that below.
