Thursday August 24, 2006 JavaScript Form Checker
I just came across this link that was sent to me about a
month ago, it's very cool so I thought I'd share: Remember the Milk.
You don't have to sign up for anything, I'm posting it, basically, to show the
form-checking. Up to now I've been using Dreamweaver?s form validator to check
if my forms are complete. It's very easy, but doesn't t really add any *POP* to
a page.
This is using a JavaScript function to check each form field to see if it?s
complete and then producing a check or an 'X' accordingly. Lemme see if I can
go a little deeper into that...
The JS file is here if you want to take a look at it
A quick way to get this effect would be to download the .js file, mimic the
form, and then customize it accordingly. You?ll get a bunch of code you don't
need, but it's a lot faster than hacking through the JavaScript.
They have a cache function called cacheDom that checks each form field if
you're a repeat visitor, you might want to take that out, but otherwise, it's
pretty clean script.
I really don't have anything of merit to say, just thought I'd share that link.

ps. I have another post for dealing with browser compatibility in CSS (IE vs FF
& Safari), but I'll save that for another day...suspenseful isn't it?
