MooTools.Floor Does Form Validation Right!

We\’ve all dealt with form validation one way or another and I didn\’t find one to my liking. I was mulling over the idea of writing my own for a while and then I read Ajaxian\’s blog today about a really awesome MooTools form validation class from MooTools.Floor. MooTools.Floor actually announced their FormCheck v1.4 form validation class in July 25, 2008.

MooTools.Floor was nice enough to post documentation for the class, though there\’s a lot of options to go through.

Errors appear in tools tips, form submission via ajax is available, error messages can be customizable, the options are endless! Like I said, there are lots of options.

To set whether an input, textarea, or select element needs to validate, you give the element a class property:

To set up a form, you instantiate the MooTools class:

var myCheck = new FormCheck(\'form_id\', {
    tipsClass : \'tips_box\',
        display : {
            scrollToFirst : false
        },
        alerts : {
            required : \'This field is ablolutely required! Please enter a value\'
        }
});
