Correct field validation of forms is an often overlooked problem and can lead to serious security issues. Building a form and adding validation to it was never that easy. - The API generates XHTML Strict 1.0 compliant code. - Field validation on the client side to minimize traffic overhead. - Field validation on the server to enforce validation rules and prevent tempering with the form through SQL injection. - Client side validation displays inline to improve user satisfaction. No more annoying popups that don't really tell you anything. - Creation of complex form structures. - Uses the popular jQuery Javascript library for DOM manipulation. - **Completely customizable** using CSS rules. - Automatic creation of field summaries for form mailers. - Super fast web form creation. - Get rid of SQL injection problems. - Create standards based CSS forms. **No tables inside.** - Make form entry fun for the user. More feedback from your website. - **Write client- and server-side validation at the same time** Installation ------------ [](#installation) You're free to download the source and get started to install ValidForm Builder.
