Introducing Valerie

February 9th, 2008 in scripts  |  2 Comments

[Update: I've decided to host Valerie at Google Code. The links have been changed accordingly.]

Remember my form validation script? It is now known as Valerie, and it’s got a bunch of new features.

The biggest improvement is the ability to define your own validation functions instead of just a regex. I’ve also removed any hard-coded messages to ease localization (which I could use some help with). And the fields can now be validated while the user types if that’s what you like.

If you’ve got any questions or want a demo check out Valerie. You’ll find that it’s well documented and has plenty of examples.

If you’ve got any questions or bugs, please let me know.

    Hello
    Your valerie demo ( http://www.chromasynthetic.com/scripts/valerie/demo/ ) reacts strange in IE6.
    When I just hit submit on the empty form everything moves down 1 line. This does not happen in FireFox.
    Do you know why? Do you have an solution?

    Hmm, I’m not sure what’s going on there, but I’ve completely rewritten how errors are displayed in the svn version which you can find here: http://valerie.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

    Plus you can always write your own method to display errors.
