Haven't really worked with any of the JS library form validations. Will try to do so in the next couple of months to understand how they work. Initially I just thought that we could do something reasonably simple like this:
-Having a function getJsValidation() for each of the validators that returns the JS equivalent of what the validator is doing on the server side (e.g. checks for not empty and makes sure it's all numeric). -Having a function in Zend_Form that returns all validations in one JS function that is called by onsubmit (or something similar). I am aware that JS form validation is a PITA. I would like to avoid having to write the validation requirements twice (once for ZF and then for my favourite JS library (or manually if I don't want to use a library). Will have a look into those JS libraries when time permits to see if I could come up with a suggestion on how to allow Zend_Form to generate the code for the library. This way we might be able to provide a code generation for the JS validation for at least the most popular JS libraries.
