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.

With_ease,
Tim
