Well, no-one said it was easy... but you don't have to do it for
every browser, because it can always fall back to server-side
validation (which you must do anyway when JS is unavailable). Client-
side validation is better for both the visitor (much faster) and the
server (reduced load). I've had a look at formsess (which does seem
to be languishing) and FormCat, however, neither capitalise on the
fact that you've already set up all the validation rules in
SmartyValidate, requiring you to set up validation rules twice. It
just seems that an integrated client/server validation solution would
be ideal for pretty much everyone?
