How do I setup required fields with Form Tools? - SteadmanTech - Sep 30th, 2010
Seems like it would be simple or obvious but I've searched the site and forums and cannot find any info. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places?
How can I setup my form and Form Tools to make certain form fields required for submission?
Thanks!

There doesn't seem to be a lot of users that help out around here. So I am willing to hang out to help myself out and others if I can.
I read where one user thought he found the holy grail of form systems. I have been here for a few days reading like a mad man and I am starting to catch on. I hope I am able in the end to pull off some pretty fancy forms for my sites with what seems to be a fantastic open source app written by Ben.
Anyway here are the docs on how to validate the fields
http://docs.formtools.org/tutorials/php_validation/
http://docs.formtools.org/tutorials/js_validation/
You can see the validation in the demo files when you download them and look at source.
I am not to sure how up to date the demo's are as compared to the new package he just release. So your mileage might vary a little with those demo's.
I think it would be great to add all the demo's to the download of formtools so you knew they were up to speed.

Hi I wont to put Really Simple Validation (RSV): Standalone Version in my form.
Can some expain hay to Add your form-specific validation code.
var rules = []; // this stores all the validation rules
rules.push("required,first_name,Please enter your first name.");
rules.push("required,email,Please enter your email address.");
rules.push("valid_email,email,Please enter a valid email address.");
Where to put thet code in page (form) becouse I put end dont work!?
Thanks.

Hi Drakar,
Yes - exactly. You add that to your form, and then add a onsubmit="rsv.validate(this, rules)" attribute to your form.
It's all covered in that tutorial:
http://docs.formtools.org/tutorials/js_validation/
Good luck!
