I'm in the process of adding some much needed client side form validation to a website I'm working on. We're currently using YUI. YUI doesn't have any form validation built in as I can see(prove me wrong).
I googled it
http://code.google.com/p/yui-form-validator/
It's not important that it's a YUI-extension as long as it plays along with YUI in a civilized manner.
What should I go for? Anyone out there with experience and an opinion?
There's a module in the gallery: http://yuilibrary.com/gallery/show/form
I haven't used it, but it looks pretty good to me.
Looks like we'll go for http://validatious.org/
Lightweight and standalone. Will not interfere with YUI.

I've been experiencing a lot of headache for this issue I'm in. I need to create a multi-database search in xpage, this search functions like a mini google in xpage where if I type, for example,"test" all databases with the same name or contains a title with test will display. I've already looked with the Openntf Project http://www.openntf.org/main.nsf/project.xsp?r=project/Xpages%20Multi%20Database%20Search%20Custom%20Control this seems to solve my problem but unfortunately I'm encountering some error and I'm not a java specialist so I'm still waiting for the creator of the project to reply. So if you know something or tricks to do this kind of stuff its really appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Take a look at this:

Custom control for XPages
Ok, so I got it right by playing with the code inside the javascript in this openntf project. ( http://www.openntf.org/main.nsf/project.xsp?r=project/Xpages%20Multi%20Database%20Search%20Custom%20Control) it checks if the database is indexed or not, but unfortunately the script does not detect my indexed dbs so it throws nothing, i just comment out the line that checks it and it works! :)
Does anyone know of a good tutorial or YouTube video that explains how to set up and use the Navigator in the IBM Xpages Extension Library?
It is a bit confusing with all the options, types of nodes, and Select & Submit Values. Hope to find something that shows the simple way to use this tool along with some of the Advanced capabilities.
I did a quick youtube video where I show just the simplest use of it. enjoy

Is there anything specific you want to know?
Hopefully a good tutorial is the XPages Extension Library book. It goes into detail on all the various node types.
I can't find simple solution for suggestion in php/java script (no jQuery or something) so would like if some have some advice?
It is simple, when people search my site I want they to see suggestions, I made everything for 'feeding' that box, but can't code or find somewhere simple php/java script only solution, so please give me some useful link or code.
Also, forgot to say that I found "XMLHttpRequest" and made implementation which works great, but since I never ever used XMLHttpRequest I am not sure will it work all platforms and browsers? I tested in few (IE,F,Chorme,Safary) and it works on windows platform, but not sure will it work on other (Mobile platform for example) that XMLHttpRequest solution?
Go to the below link to find an awesome auto complete script without using any kind of javascript frameworks like jQuery or Prototype. Probably this might be the thing you are looking for.

I want to add a calendar control to a page that already includes Prototype and Scriptaculous. Not happy with any of the Prototype ones I could find, I'm considring using the YUI Calendar widget.
I this likely to cause any problems?
We have worked hard to make sure that YUI is safe to use with any other library. We namespace everything, as HermanD says, under only one required global (YAHOO) and one optional one (YAHOO_config). We don't modify native objects. And even though Protoype does modify native prototypes, we code defensively so that this doesn't break YUI functionality.
If you find any bugs in using the two together, please let us know.
Regards,
Eric
YUI Team
By default everything in YUI is within the YAHOO namespace, so as long as you sensibly apply namespaces to anything you use from YUI, I would have thought you should be ok.
See: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/yahoo/
I successfully used the YUI tab control in an app I was already using Prototype and Scriptaculous in and had no problem. The weight of all that is a bit much though if you're looking at a publicly available app. I wouldn't care so much about an internal app, say for a company, but you might want to think about how much JavaScript you're making end users download and the number of separate files they're having to download for the page.
I'm trying to simply use some of the examples and instructions regarding the YUI-Uploader, and I'm being frustrated by a number of issues.
The "YUI Library: Uploader" cheat sheet's simple use case doesn't work for me because all the listed methods except addListener() do not exist on the myUploader object.
The example is for version 2.5.1 and includes a method called browse(), which not only was removed in version 2.6.0 but I cannot find any documentation for how to use the 2.5.1 version if I so choose.
I can't find the source FLA to the uploader.swf file so that I could theoretically diagnose all these issues.
Has anyone successfully used the 2.6.0 YUI Uploader, and if so is there some common interfering JavaScript I should avoid, or a better example to follow? Thank you.
Thanks for the replies.
I might note that I finished my "uploader" project before receiving any responses to this.
Part of my problems were due to some of the examples being for v2.5.1 and another part were due to not using an event listener to see when the component was ready. I got the most help from just dissecting what Flickr did.
You can find the source to uploader.swf here at Uploader.as now that the YUI source is available on GitHub.
You've got the wrong link for the simple example, here's the correct one.
YUI Uploader Simple Example
You could also take a look at my implementation if you'd like, it's pretty barebones and works fine using YUI 2.6.0.
Tivac.com YUI Uploader Implementation
It sounds like for #1 that you're trying to call methods on the uploader immediately. You should instead add listeners for all the events it can fire and do any configuration once the "contentReady" event fires. All the YUI examples & mine do that, so you can check there for a code sample.
