I develop a lot of sites built on SilverStripe, but they use prototype for form validation. This causes issues since I primarily use jquery (a ton) throughout my sites. So, I was thrilled today when I discovered this little beauty of a plugin, jQuery Validate. I honestly can’t believe it took me this long to find it, but first I feel like I need to give credit where credit is due. Thanks to Aram Balakjian’s tutorial on SSBits.com for the bit of direction I needed. It really got me started and let me just say, jQuery Validate worked perfectly for what I needed.
