jQuery.formValidate v1.1.1. jQuery Plugin to validate some basic types of data input. (c)2014 Rafael Maruta - rafaelmaruta@gmail.com. Released under the MIT license

Accepts the following parameters: type, alertBox, borderOriginalColor, isreqAlert, ismailAlert, isnumAlert, isdateAlert.

Use the parameter values for type:

• 'reset' to reset all the border input colors and the alert box changed by the validation. The form element needs to be in the selector;
• 'isreq' (default) for required fields;
• 'ismail' to require an e-mail address valid format;
• 'isnum' to require numbers;
• 'isdate' to require a date valid format. The default values are DDMMYYYY, DDMMYY, YYYYMMDD and YYMMDD, with '/', '-' and '.' as optional separators.

The parameter alertBox is the selector where the alert messages appears. You can personalize for each field, including the use of relative elements.

The parameter borderOriginalColor is the original color of the input borders, because sometimes JavaScript can't save the element original color when modified.

The parameters isreqAlert, ismailAlert, isnumAlert, isdateAlert are the alert messages when input data errors happen. For default it takes the 'name' element attribute value and replaced at {xxxxx} expression.

Call examples:

$(document).ready(function()
{
  $('form').bind('submit',function()
  {
    $(this).formValidate({type:'reset'});
    $('#div1,#div2,#div3').formValidate();
    $('#div2').formValidate({type:'ismail'});
    $('#div4').formValidate({type:'isdate'});
    return false;
  });
});

If some of the validations is invalid, it returns false, so it can be used this way:

$(document).ready(function()
{
  $('form').bind('submit',function()
  {
    $(this).formValidate({type:'reset'});
    if (!$('#div1,#div2,#div3').formValidate() || !$('#div2').formValidate({type:'ismail'}) || 
    !$('#div4').formValidate({type:'isdate'}))
      window.console.log(false); // There're errors, needs to be fixed.
    else
      window.console.log(true); // So submit the form.
    return false;
  });
});
