Client-side validation code is not generated by default in DB_Table (because of historical / BC reasons). You can activate it by setting the fourth parameter in the getForm() call to true. Or, if you want it only on a per-column base, set 'qf_client' to true in the column definition. If this doesn't help you, please provide more of your code. You can mail me directly, if you want.
