Hey everyone!
Hope you are having a great weekend, and I'm hoping someone might be
coherent enough to help me find a more elegant solution to a problem
that I have...
I have a form for submitting an event to a website, and if the form
is not submitted successfully (such as they didn't fill out a
required field) I want it to redisplay the form with inline errors
as to what happened and display the values they selected...
-snip-
Any ideas what I'm missing?
Jason:
I think what you are missing is that this data collection should be
split between client-side and server-side operations.
For client-side simply use javascript to monitor what they user
enters and then immediately respond to the requirements imposed upon
the user.
After the user fills out the information correctly and clicks submit,
then have your server-side scripts check the data again and respond
accordingly.
Here are a couple of examples:
