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...

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.
Hey tedd,
Thanks for the response but for this particular project I'm avoiding
using anything but standard HTML since it will be used almost
exclusively by people using screen readers and other assistive
technology so I'm going a little old school with it to make sure it
all works for everyone else first.
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:

I will definitely be checking out your examples though! Some of the
cleanest, well documented, and easiest to read code I have seen in a
long time!
