A reasonably sized (12kb uncompressed, 6.8kb minified) form-validation plugin.
Actually it would only be 7 kb uncompressed, and 3.8kb minified, but the
email address and url validator regexps are ginormous (you could easily remove
them if you want to use a lighter regexp).

Usage

okValidate favors convention over configuration. To validate a particular field,
add a class to the field name of one or more validators.

<input class='email required' name='email' type='text' />


This will validate the field with the 'required' and 'email' validators (built-in).

To add additional validators you must add properties to or extend the
$.fn.okValidate.validators object and/or the $.fn.okValidate.messages
object. In order to properly validate, both the validator, and corresponding
messages must have the same key.

$.extend($.fn.okValidate.validators, {
  my_validator: /^foo$/
});
$.extend($.fn.okValidate.messages, {
  my_validator: "#{name} answer was not 'foo'"
});


'Validations' and 'Validation Messages' live in separate objects
to allow redefining of of validations separately from the messages (validations are
mostly identical - messages can be more unique).

Validators can be either a function or a regexp. If a function, it
should return true if the input is valid, and false if it is not. Regexps should
attempt to match a valid input.

When writing messages, you can add replacement patterns. Anything inside
of the #{...} will be replaced with the corresponding attribute of the input.
That is to say #{name} will be replaced with the name attribute from
the input, and #{id} with the id. Additional transformation of this property
will be performed by the 'replacementFormatter' method. The default is to
replace underscores and dashes with spaces and to strip brackets.

Usage

$("form").okValidate({...options...})
