RE: [SMARTY-DEV] Smarty html forms validation builtin request

Hi Ernani SmartyForm has a well documented working example (with some config settings of course) in CVS...I think you should find that SmartyForm will do most, if not all of what you need. The current package and official docs are out-dated. CVS verson is working fine! Client-side email validation has been added, also a pattern valdation (alphanumeric and the like) and some other stuff. Check the usage examples in each of the validation functions. Also a formlabel function has been added to include client and server side label highlighting in validation...this works nice, but some changes will likely happen here in the future. A form error function has been added which can be placed anywhere in the form to show all form errors. All valdation functions are documetned with examples. Have a look at the webcvs of smartyform: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/smartyform/smartyform/exa mples/medium_example/ Or get the whole CVS tree. The readme in this example and the inline docs in the templates explain everything so far. If you have any ideas or suggestions (other than the lack of docs of course) for SmartyForm v.2 please post to the smartyform-general list: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=62399 Hope this helps!
