GValidator Form Validation Library

Introduction

GValidator is a lightweight javascript form validation library that automatically adds client-side validation to form elements, without needing to write a single line of javascript.

The aims of the project are to provide the following:

• A user-friendly experience
• A reusable and lightweight library
• Semantically clean code
• Web Standards compliant code
• Cross browser compatibility
• Code flexibility and extensibility
• Promote adoption via ease of use

To use the library without customization, all you need to do is include it.

Other features:

• Easy Internationalization
• Simple plug-in mechanism for new validators, should you want to extend functionality
• Easily configurable
• No dependencies on other libraries such as JQuery, Mootools etc.

Version 0.4.20

• Ability to set a field as required using html class 'required'.
• Ability to add multiple class names to a field without interupting GValidator.
