Validating all entries in Input Boxes.

Question

I want a class in JavaScript through which I can validate all the Input Boxes on a form. I just want to supply the form name and it must validate the input boxes there in.

Is there any class or something other through which I can achieve this?

Answer 1

Have you looked at the validator plugin?

Answer 2

If you don't want to use JQuery I described an alternative library in an earlier post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/576631/what-javascript-library-to-use-for-client-side-form-checking/577633#577633

That allows you to just add attributes like REQUIRED or DATE to an <INPUT> tag.

It's a bit old-hat now, but we are still using it in production :)
