Hi, My comments deals with the validation form. Using an ECMA function will be in conflict with accessibility rules. If js is desactivated etc... Why not include directly a kind of 'required type' form / input , with an input type for a database field type. For exemple in a database you can have int(11) fields or UNIXTIMESTAMP fields. So we could have a <input type="unixtimestamp" value="" required="required">. Then the browser could check the type and the required type on submit and return false if needed. Moreover, according to the xml header language, a message could be directly diplayed or better, creating tags error for example : <msg type="error" for="name of the reference input id" value="What you typed is not a valid date format" /> Those messages, in a return false submition case could be automaticaly displayed where they are in the page. So these are some ideas... but the aim is to make forms easily accessible for blind for exemple. Training and chatting about accessibility with web developpers is sometimes tricky. If the tool which is used does it natively, or without many efforts this could be great. Thank for reading my ideas, and I appologize for my English mistakes if it's the case :) bye bye and Merry Xmas if ever you celebrate it. Regards S?bastien.(france)
