To be honest, having inspired by validation plugin, I thought of
hacking an adopter for it. But, later I found that it's too un-
intuitive to try to bend CakePHP rules for validation plugins; it will
be just easy to dump CakePHP rules in JSON and write a simple jQuery
code to do the validation. This way, one can just follow the CakePHP
validation code and translate it to jQuery easily. The simple code, I
came up with for CakePHP rules (not complete) is:
//Logic: Extract validation rule which is in JSON from class attribute
// on blur of input elements, validate--on error append error div
$('div.input').each(function () {
var m = /validation:{(.*)}/.exec($(this).attr('class'));
if (m[1]) {
$('input', $(this)).blur(function () {
var validation = eval('({' + m[1] + '})');
$(this).siblings('div.error-message').remove();
if (!validation['allowEmpty'] && !$(this).val()) {
$(this).parent().append('<div class="error-message">'
+ validation['message'] + '</div>').fadeIn();
}
});
}
});
