Has anyone built form validation functions using YUI that could mimick how asp.net handles form validation?

I know jquery has a nice validation addon, was hoping YUI would also.

Answer 1

I just took a quick look through the YUI toolkit and there doesn't seem to be anything that jumps out at me. I know they have stuff for validation on the DataTable inputs, but it doesn't look like there is an equivalent for forms.

Answer 2

YUI doesn't have form validation built in as a separate component. There are a number of loose add-ons that people have done over the years, such as:

The most directed work I've seen on this in the YUI ecosystem has been this project:

I'm not sure what its current state is.

We'll add a formal component to YUI that provides common forms functionality, but that's down the road a bit.
