- checkout datejs.com for a proper date implementation -> complete but very heavy parser, currently overkill
- rewrite required-method to use jQuery's extended val() on selects[/radios/checkboxes]
- consider a field-validator object that encapsulates a single element and all methods working on it
- export API browser
- add example/support for other URL schemes like svn://....
- document min/max/range methods for checkboxes/selects
/**
* Return false, if the element is
*
* - some kind of text input and its value is too short
*
* - a set of checkboxes has not enough boxes checked
*
* - a select and has not enough options selected
*
* Works with all kind of text inputs, checkboxes and select.
*
* @example
* @desc Declares an optional input element with at least 5 characters (or none at all).
*
* @example
* @desc Declares an input element that must have at least 5 characters.
*
* @example
* @desc Specifies a group of checkboxes. To validate, at least two checkboxes must be selected.
*
* @param Number min
* @name jQuery.validator.methods.minLength
* @type Boolean
* @cat Plugins/Validate/Methods

- document numberOfInvalids and hideErrors
/**
* Returns the number of invalid elements in the form.

* @example $("#myform").validate({
* showErrors: function() {
* $("#summary").html("Your form contains " + this.numberOfInvalids() + " errors, see details below.");
* this.defaultShowErrors();
* }

* time the form or a single element is validated.
*
* @name jQuery.validator.prototype.numberOfInvalids
* @type Number
*/
/**
* Hides all error messages in this form.
*
* @example var validator = $("#myform").validate();
* $(".cancel").click(function() {
* validator.hideErrors();

- remove deprecated methods
- css references
- http://test5.caribmedia.com/CSS/Secrets/members/michiel/floating-forms.html
- http://paularmstrongdesigns.com/projects/awesomeform/
- http://dnevnikeklektika.com/uni-form/
- consider validation on page load, disabling required-checks
- completely rework showErrors: manually settings errors is currently extremely flawed and utterly useless, eg. errors disappear if some other validation is triggered
- add custom event to remote validation for adding more parameters
- document focusInvalid()
- document validation lifecycle: setup (add event handlers), run validation (prepare form, validate elements, display errors/submit form)
-> show where the user can hook in via callbacks
- AND depedency: specify multiple expressions as an array
- add custom events for form and elements instead of more callbacks (additional options/callbacks)
- beforeValidation: Callback, called before doing any validation
- beforeSubmit: Callback, called before submitting the form (default submit or calling submitHandler, if specified)
- animations!!
- ajax validation:
- in combination with autocomplete (mustmatch company name, fill out address details, validate required)
- validate zip code in comparison to address, if match and state is missing, fill out state
- strong password check/integration: http://phiras.wordpress.com/2007/04/08/password-strength-meter-a-jquery-plugin/
- stop firefox password manager to popup before validation - check mozilla bug tracker?
- overload addMethod with a Option-variant:
$.validator.addMethod({
name: "custom",
message: "blablabla",
parameteres: false,
handler: function() { ... }
});
Examples:
- wordpress comment form, make it a drop-in method
- ajaxForm() integration
- ajaxSubmit with rules-option, more/less options to ajaxSubmit
- watermark integration http://digitalbush.com/projects/watermark-input-plugin
- datepicker integration
- timepicker integration ( http://labs.perifer.se/timedatepicker/ )
- integration with CakePHP ( https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/2359 )
- integration with tabs: http://www.netix.sk/forms/test.html
- intergration with rich-text-editors (FCKEditor, Codepress)

- attachValidation, removeValidation, validate (with UI), valid (without UI)
- (re)move current addMethod implementation
- move rules plugin option
- move metadata support
- make validate method chainable
-> provide an accessor for the validator if necessary at all
- move a few default methods to additionals, eg. dateXXX, creditcard, definitely accept
