Ruminations from the Long Doctor

Validanguage 0.9.0 Released!

June 2nd, 2008

Update: I created a Roadmap Page to list the features and bug fixes I will be adding to Validanguage in the coming months.

After about a month of work, my initial release of my Validanguage form validation library is finally done. You can read more about it here.

I have a number of features I’m planning on adding to the next version, including:

  • Add konqueror support for the Comment-based API via Ajax call to get the document source
  • Add “ontyping” event handler to add realtime validation with a 3-second “typing” trigger
  • Add support for “onblur transformations” — such as stripping out all the hyphens from a textfield when you Tab out after having entered a credit card number.

The timing of my next release is really contingent on how well this initial release goes. If no one ends up using validanguage other than me, I’d be inclined to spend more of my downtime working on some new music (which I’m gonna be doing anyway).

So… if you’ve downloaded validanguage and think you’ll be using it, please let me know via email or post a comment below. Feel free to post questions, feature requests or comments.

    I have not yet started using it, but this looks like the perfect solution for my form validations. I always look at various validators, and none seem to meet my needs (often because of my strict refusal to use any javascript frameworks like mootools, jquery, etc). THANKS AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

    Very lovely library I think, though I haven’t started using it, but I’ve downloaded it anyway.
