Thank you for stepping up to reply but 'parsely' looks more like a library for client-side form validation which is already not really the major problem I am trying to address. My goal is to have a mechanism that stores (with persistence) information provided by the user as soon as possible once it is provided input field by input field (on focusOut event) , rather than just doing all at once when the form is submitted. Anyway, thanks :)
