List of Ajax form Validators

Tags: , Ajax, Form Validation, Javascript

First off I’d Like to say Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!! Inputing correct data into any web application or website is very important. There is two different ways to validate forms by either Server-side or Client-side. The list below is Client-Side Ajax Form Validator.
mooTools Framework

fValidator - is built over MooTools v1.1 and it supports Multiple forms per page supported. fValidator is compatible and tested in Internet Explorer, Firefox (and its mozilla friends), Opera and Safari
FormCheck - Works with these types of fields input (text, radio, checkbox),textarea, select. FormCheck is built with MooTools v1.1

jQuery Framework

jQuery Plugin: Validation - is Built with the jQuery 1.2.2+. It works with all the standard form inputs.
Simple jQuery form validation - This form validator is pretty easy to implement and is built with jQuery. Since the link doesn’t have a download you can download it here http://www.willjessup.com/sandbox/jquery/form_validator/val.js

Prototype Framework

LiveValidation - First I want to let you know that this has two versions a prototype version and a standalone version. The Prototype version works great with prototype. LiveValidation is a small open source javascript library for making client-side validation quick, easy, and powerful. It is tested and works in most modern browsers.
JSValidate - JSValidate is a form validator that uses prototype and scriptaculous to bring you a very easy Javascript form validator. The only drawback is that its still in its beta versions.
Field validation with Prototype - A robust Javascript form validation library built with prototype and scriptaculous. It has a number of tests built-in but is extensible to include your custom validation checks.

Spry Framework

Validation Widget - This Validator works fairly well. It is very easy to implement with Dreamweaver CS3. If you are not using Dreamweaver than you can download their Javascript elements. The only problem I have with this is that every input element has its own external Javascript and CSS.

No Framework

Clean Form Validation - Clean Form Validation is a very simple Javascript form validation and it is very easy to implement.
Validate.js - Validate.js is able to validate all sorts of data. It is different from the rest of this list because of it has more ways to validate data, some of which could come in handy.
LiveValidation - The standalone version works just as well as the prototype version. LiveValidation is a small open source javascript library for making client-side validation quick, easy, and powerful.

You didn’t add iMask ( http://zendold.lojcomm.com.br/imask/ ) to the list of validation frameworks that use mootools

Heya, I was just wondering, if I use one of these validators is it necessary to use captcha or my form is secured ? Or captcha and the validation have nothing to do with eachother ?
Thanks.
