Yav 2.0: preview examples on the Yav discussion group (24 February 2008)

Yav 2.0 will be available very soon. Some new features:

new: onblur notification of errors.
new: onfocus auto-help, you can tell the user what's expected of him for each field.
new: you can define your input masks (check the maximum field length and the characters allowed, and separators are automatically added).
new: pre-validation and post-validation (ajax support).
new: custom rules have a new syntax, so inline notifications and highlight work fine (back compatibility maintained).
new: yav now uses two namespaces, yav and yav_config (keeping down potential naming collisions).
new: unobtrusive javascript: yav separates javascript from html. For example, yav adds events for you (no more inline event registration model into the html elements).

You can find some preview examples in the Yav discussion group (and more examples will be available in the next days). Yes, finally we have our discussion group, we hope you join it!
