Thanks to a late night yesterday I've managed to get a new Rough Cut article online - Form Validator R3.0, which include the NSF demo file, along with all the documentation for how to compile the list of required fields.

Thanks for all the feedback so far. It's good to see there's still the interest in what I'm doing. It's nice to see people mentioning it out there on other Domino blogs too.

Most of the feedback seems to be along the lines of "Can you move the error message here". The answer always is that I could but then others would ask for it to be moved back. It's impossible to please everyone. What I'll try and do it make it all configurable so things can go where you want them. More important to me is that it can cover the various validation scenarios you might come across.

Very few forms consist merely of plain text fields. Some go further and use radio buttons and drop downs. My version 2 code catered for this. What it didn't cater for were the more unusual requirements of validation. With version three you can not only have conditional field validation as well as using Regular Expression patterns, but you can also step outside my Validator code and use your own functions to perform the validation.

Hopefully this new version can meet any requirements of form validation. If you can think of a validation criteria you think it can't, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
