... Learning JavaScript: Want to learn some more about JavaScript? Check out the source code of these examples.... Companies who use validate_form.js... Known issue: Element names containing "[" and "]"... Compression statistics for documentation-exclusive JavaScript.... The main build process (not contained in any download archive).... The process that generates the JavaScript API.... Process that creates compression statistics for the main VF-classes.... Process that creates doc-exclusive compression statistics.... The process that generates the 'tryit' code, from the demo code displayed at the bottom of each tutorial page.It is expected that all element names only contain letters, digits and underscores. Also, you must ensure that no two non-radio/non-checkbox elements have the same name. Not following these rules may cause unpredictable behavior.
These naming requirements preclude the use of arrays within form element names. However, there is a workaround:
I've not verified this, although the concept seems to be a valid one. Anyone have experience with this? A truly working example would be helpful. Thanks.

This is a complete listing of validate_form.js' attributes and special strings (~FOR_EXAMPLE~). Special strings are put into the value of the 'sMsg*' attribute, and are replaced with the value as described below. When the value is not avaliable, the special string itself is displayed.:
bsGlobalTrimSpaces: If 'true', then trim spaces from the start and end of all string values.[txt/pwd/txa].bsTrimSpaces: When [form].bsGlobalTrimSpaces is not provided, this is how you trim the value of a single element.[txt/pwd/txa].bsDontTrimSpaces: Overrides [form].bsGlobalTrimSpaces for a single elementasGlobalBadSubStrs: An array of strings considered illegal when any string value equals or contains any one.[txt/pwd/txa].bsNoBadSubStrs: Overrides [form].asGlobalBadSubStrs for a single element, declaring that no sub-strings are illegal for it.[txt/pwd/txa].asBadSubStrs: Overrides [form].asGlobalBadSubStrs for a single element, defining an element-specific list of illegal sub-strings. This may be used even when [form].asGlobalSubStrs is not provided.[txt/pwd/txa].sMsgBadSubStr: The user error message when an illegal sub-string equals, or is found in, a string value.~BSS_FOUND~: Special strings for displaying the found-sub-string.~BSS_LIST~: Special strings for displaying the entire list of bad sub-strings.text/password/textarea/radio/select-one/checkbox/select-multiple)sMsgRequired: Declares that the value for an element is required.text/password:sMsgTxtDec Must be a valid decimal, and within (the optional) range.~RANGE_MIN~ and ~RANGE_MAX~: Special strings for dDecMin/dDecMax, when provided.dDecMin: The minimum allowable value.dDecMax: The maximum allowable value.sMsgTxtEmail (non-numeric): Must be a valid email address.sMsgTxtInt Must be a valid integer, and within (the optional) range.~RANGE_MIN~ and ~RANGE_MAX~: Special strings for iIntMin/iIntMax, when provided.iIntMin: The minimum allowable value.iIntMax: The maximum allowable value.sMsgTxt*: Create an SIFmt object to enforce that values conform to a proper integer-string format, as required by things such as ssns, phone numbers, and zip codes.text/password/textareaasBadSubStrs: See [form].asGlobalBadSubStrs.bsNoBadSubStrs: See [form].asGlobalBadSubStrs.sMsgBadSubStr: See [form].asGlobalBadSubStrs.sMsgBadLength~RANGE_MIN~ and ~RANGE_MAX~: Special strings for iMinLength/iMaxLength, when provided.~CURRLEN~: Special string displaying the length of the string provided by the user.[txt/pwd/txa].iMinLength: The minimum allowable length.[txt/pwd].MAXLENGTH: The maximum allowable length (this is standard HTML).[txt/pwd/txa].iMaxLength: The maximum allowable length.bsDontTrimSpaces: See [form].bsGlobalTrimSpaces.bsTrimSpaces: See [form].bsGlobalTrimSpaces.checkbox/select-multiplesMsgMCRange: Defines a range of how many multiple-choice responses are allowed to be selected.~OPTS_TOTAL~: Special string for the total number of available options.~OPTS_CHOSEN~: Special string for number of options chosen by the user.~RANGE_MIN~, and ~RANGE_MAX~: Special strings for iMCMin/iMCMax, when provided.iMCMin: The minimum allowable choices.iMCMax: The maximum allowable choices.validate_form.jsHere are a list of companies and individuals that use validate_form.js in their real-world projects:
