Re: Django and AJAX: Setting aside the conflict

[Eugene Lazutkin]

 I don't think it's goofy idea. Actually it is kind of what dojo.validate.check() does: it takes a form id and a profile object, which tells how to validate each field. Obviously the profile is generated by server depending on underlying data types. Django has all information available to generate it.   As I can see they support individual validations, some dependency validations, equality validations (double checks), and pre-filtering (e.g., trim whitespaces, upper/lowercase, and so on). So far it fits Django like a glove.   Thanks,   Eugene   "David Ascher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

I found this file in their repository: http://dojotoolkit.org/trac/file/trunk/src/validate.js It reminds me of: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/core/validators.py Their code can validate individual values as well as all fields of the form using some additonal meta-information. Goofy idea: use the Python logic to generate JS code to do clientside validation based on the model-specified constraints.  Detailed specification and implementation are left as an exercise to the reader. ;-)
