What is the best jquery validation plugin?

Question

That has reg expression checks for phone, zip, email. Comparison checks for email and password. Bonus: masking and forcing letters and numbers only options.

I would like one that works well with this: http://www.malsup.com/jquery/form/

This is a multistage sign-up and would work when step 1 is complete(the form) it would send it to the server (via url serialized) on valid success go to step 2, which is a sliding div system.

What is the best way to do this, and combine it inside the above mention ajax form submit plugin's "beforeSubmit" option?

Answer 1

The best validation plugin is Jorns here. Coupled with the metadata plugin it provides a powerful clientside validation framework.
