Helped me greatly when I was trying to make a site's contact form have a more polished and professional look. Thanks once again, Aram!

On our page.ss, at the very bottom we had the following code just before the </body>: <!--uncomment if eventsearch --> <!--<script src="http://www.ssbits.com/themes/[...]/js/eventsearch.js"></script> --> I followed the instructions on this page to a tee, but alas no validation still. So I looked at the source code and found that the validation code inside the init() was being inserted INSIDE these comments tags! I removed the tags as we really don't need them and voila! I think this might be a bug in SS... anyways hope this may help someone else as it took me hours to figure out why validation wasn't working...

Thanks again.

I am using memberprofiles module and ran into 2 problems. The first one I have solved. Using the code you have above did not stop prototype etc from loading, although it did on other forms. With the memberprofiles module I had to add the following: public function init() { parent::init(); Validator::set_javascript_validation_handler('none'); Requirements::block('sapphire/thirdparty/prototype/prototype.js'); Requirements::block('sapphire/thirdparty/behaviour/behaviour.js'); Requirements::block('sapphire/javascript/prototype_improvements.js'); Requirements::block('sapphire/javascript/Validator.js'); Requirements::block('sapphire/javascript/i18n.js'); Requirements::block('sapphire/javascript/lang/en_US.js'); Requirements::javascript("http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.7/jquery.validate.min.js"); Requirements::javascript("mysite/javascript/jquery.validations.rules.js"); Requirements::customScript(' // VALIDATION CODE GOES HERE '); } As you can see I have had to explicitly block the prototype files etc. Hopefully this helps someone else save an hour ;) Second problem is that the Password and Confirm Password fields in SilverStripe output the field names like Password[_Password] or Password[_Confirm_Password]. When I add these field names into the rule it breaks the JS and doesn't work. Any suggestions?
