I've been creating an application over the last few weeks and generally
pleased with what I have produced but one area is irritating me, form
validation.
At the moment the forms are simply static html templates and the form input
is checked using a validation class. Basically each form field is checked,
every error is stored to an array and at the end of checking of the complete
form, the array is output neatly at the top of the form.
However this is just not sexy enough for me, what I would like to happen is
for the input boxes with errors to be highlighted with a red border (or
something along those lines). I would also like to have the error messages
under the box which the error occured, not altogether at the top of the
page.
So I am currently wondering how to achieve this and what choices are open to
me on methods available? I've had a google around the web and found some
form validation classes but they basically do what I already achieved. I've
thought of creating the forms dynamically but that in itself doesn't address
how to achieve my goal.
I am sure many people have already successfully done this, if you have the
please could give me an outline (the theory) of how you did it. I don't want
or need code, I am simply stuck at the moment on how to approach this.
Cheers
Phil
