Very useful tutorial ! Using expando and regexp (I am a bash/perl shell script fan) is really the most efficient way to get rid of infinite if..then and friends in javascript. I've added your site to our communautary bookmark. Thanx a lot.

i hate to keep harping on this, but the result of this script is ease.  here is an example of validation code for one of my forms.  you can't convince me that this code is too much. with (document.Form1){  Company["DISPLAY-NAME"] = "Company Name";  Company.REQUIRED = true;    Title["DISPLAY-NAME"] = "Job Title";  Title.REQUIRED = true;    FirstName["DISPLAY-NAME"] = "First Name";  FirstName.REQUIRED = true;    LastName["DISPLAY-NAME"] = "Last Name";  LastName.REQUIRED = true;    Street1["DISPLAY-NAME"] = "Street Address";  Street1.REQUIRED = true;    City["DISPLAY-NAME"] = "City";  City.REQUIRED = true;    States["DISPLAY-NAME"] = "State";  States.REQUIRED = true;    Zip["DISPLAY-NAME"] = "ZIP Code";  Zip.REQUIRED = true;  Zip.ZIP = true;    EMail["DISPLAY-NAME"] = "E-Mail Address";  EMail.REQUIRED = true;  EMail.EMAIL = true;    Phone["DISPLAY-NAME"] = "Phone Number";  Phone.REQUIRED = true;  Phone.PHONE = true; }

WOAH!! That's a LOT of code!. Check out my JavaScript page @ www5.brinkster.com/hiflyer - I have a generic form checker there which is MUCH simpler than this. Ian A.

You are always free to discount the techniques presented here, but you'd probably be giving up easy implementation.  The code may look involved, but it's built to make validation setup simple:  What's simpler than setting a single attribute in HTML?  Whereas you write more and more code for increasingly large forms, no code is required using these techniques. For those interested in updates, you can find the latest at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/validation/.

man, this is complicated. doesit have to be so hard to do? it seems that the effort to program just a few validation techniques is faster than adapting this stuff. i did something similar on my site that i intended to make a generic validation tool - it is far less sophisticated, but a cool approach, if you are interested chk it out - http://jerrynixon.com/jerrynixon/vbscript/new/new_formVerifier.htm
