As for:

and generate JS to validate the form before submittion to be nice for the user.

Keep in mind it's very nice to the server as well. I don't have stats on it (would it matter if I did?) but I'm betting client-side validation would at least cut requests for the script in half.

Even so, the point still stands. If you really need autogenerated validation Javascript, it should be implemented in a separate module. Maybe it should have an interface to the data validator module, so that it could generate JS according to a validator object's rules, but it should not be intermingled in the validator module's codebase and interface. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
