sorry for this "out of sync" answer but though I managed some "tricks" to tackle the (problem of) validation in pure html forms during these years, I would be curious about an answer to Mengu's request of "showing how to make validation with manual forms".
Sorry DenesL but you did not answer the question as you supposed a model in place, so I would really appreciate a simple html form which preserves validation.
