Hello there!

Phew :)

I’ve finished the work I was doing for Stephen on Uncover Egypt, so my extra-curricular development efforts are full-time on my project now.

First task: I want a slick little enquiry form with client-side validation using jQuery (no nasty validation pop-ups for me, nosir) and some nice server-side validation in PHP to catch the little tricksters that sidestep the first line of defence.

Marvellous.

    Hmm, nice, a Jscript library. The demos are a bit limited though, just show DHTML rather than the fancy shennanigins of the library.

    Nice tool if you don’t want to spend a lot of time re-inventing the wheel.

    I’ll probably do the actual validation in vanilla JavaScript, and use jQuery for pretty fadey “Enter your name, dumbass!” messages.

    I probably won’t phrase them quite like that, though…

    Mr T says : “You got a validation error, sucka! I pity the fool who done enter an end date before the start date”

    It’s not quite done yet, but it’s coming along very nicely :)

    Mmmm fadey messages…

    That jQuery is pretty nice - at the moment I prefer it to Prototype. If only because the people that are behind jQuery have bothered their collective arse to create a decent body of documentation for it (broken links notwithstanding). I’ve neither the time nor the inclination to poke through the Prototype source until I figure it out.

Comments are welcome. Keep it friendly and on-topic please.
