[quote author="Cyclops" date="1245324248"]Hey, Mr FormGenLib,
Great work! A framework should not be without a library like this.
One quick question:
Is there a way to define validation rules in a file, or in an array somewhere, and then have the $form object load the specified rules up for each specific form? This would be very nice if similar forms will be used in more than one place (like as in create / edit / ajaxEdit, etc).
Any help would be great
[/quote]Hi there, you can define default validation rules in the config file for certain form elements. Please check out this document in the user guide.

Where can I find the latest release, and are you still working on it?

I used this library on a site recently. Awesome library!
One problem that caught me by surprise was the form rendering in IE8, because we all know how clever the coders are at MS and their browsers have historically been very compatible!
Anyway this renders great in all browsers except IE8, I had to install IE8 and wipe out my treasured install of IE6 (my acid test).
So I guess IE8 is the new IE6! Please see attached screen shots. The CSS is virtually untouched from the CSS supplied with the lib example.
Attached images are from firefox3 ie8 and safari(recent anyway).

can you supply the generated source code of the radio button part (or the checkboxes)?

@macigniter take a look at http://sprawsm.com/uni-form/ for the css part

here is the generated source code for the check buttons.
There is some jquery stuff in there too.
Code:
<legend>Availability</legend>
<input type="radio" name="availability[]" value="0" class="check"><label for="msg1" class="left check">I am available to volunteer for just the festival weekend only.</label><br /><input type="radio" name="availability[]" value="1" class="check"><label for="msg2" class="left check">I am available to volunteer the week leading up to and/or the week after the festival</label><br /><input type="radio" name="availability[]" value="2" class="check"><label for="msg3" class="left check">I am available to volunteer the week leading up to and/or the week after the festival <br /><strong>AND</strong> the festival weekend</label><br /><br /><div class="info" id="avail_message0" style="display:none"><p>This might be a good time to point out.</p>
<ul>
<li>you can get a daypass for only 6 volunteer hours</li>
<li>you can get a weekend pass for 12 volunteer hours</li>
</ul>
<p>If you can you might want to choose one of the other options so that you can volunteer your time before or after the event and you get to enjoy the festival during the weekend of the event.</div><div class="info" id="avail_message1" style="display:none"><p>Thanks, we really need volunteers like you to help us make this a great event.
