Re: Complex server-side rules with QuickForm

Josh, Well, what I normally do (as I have quite a few web applications with all kinds of javascript features for the UI) is add either an onclick, onmouseover, etc attribute like described above, or (to make things simpler), use custom attributes (defined in an extended doctype, of course!) and have seperate javascript files to work with those. Of course, you could always just subclass QuickForm and roll your own custom Rules, or even DHTML extras (which would without a dobt bloat quickform). I prefer to keep most of my UI related javascript seperate from the server side code, but YMMV.
