I started a similar jQuery plugin a while back called jVal:
http://www.overset.com/2008/07/31/jval-jquery-form-field-validation-plugin/

Has animated flyouts that look great and uses space efficiently.

That and it’s easy as heck to plug in on-demand validation and key press validation on most input fields with simple attributes added to the markup.

In the middle of developing a form validation system myself so it’s interesting to see how they did it.

The error messages are dumped at the end of the html document so they’re pretty useless to screen readers. Also, the errors appear if you tab through the form, so you need to complete the form sequentially to get the full effect.

Interesting use of class names. Don’t know how I feel about it, but certainly interesting.

Wow, as the creator of fValidator I'm really happy that someone took what I thought it was a good plugin and extended it to make a marvelous one! This Form.Check is an amazing thing XD - CONGRATULATIONS!

I created a similar thing a little while back: http://www.validatious.org/

It’s standalone, and provides validation through class names or a JavaScript DSL like API. Check it out!

In the demo, and I realize it’s just a demo, it forces users to enter at least 3 characters for a last name. Had this been real and live, I would not be able to register. I encountered many live sites in the past that have a three-letters minimum requirement, and I never knew how I could come up with a third letter.

Other than that, it’s excellent.
