How validation framework works?

This plugin uses jQuery validator plugin to add validation features to default 'input' fields.

To use it, just add the 'validate' field to the input view parameters specifying what kind of validation you wants. Of course you couldn't forget to call 'input/validator' after your form to make the magic works. If you use the 'input/form' view and mark it with the 'validate' param it do it for you.

For some examples take a look to 'libform/examples/validation.php' view file and check the documentation for each input file provided by this plugin.
