I released a new version of CF Spry Forms today. This release includes the update to Spry 1.5 as well as: Radio Button widget, Autosuggest widget, autosuggest functionality added to the Textfield widget, Documentation added, and some small bug fixes.

I packaged up my Spry 1.4 custom tags and made it a project on riaforge

Theres also a shoddy demo site I'm working on (I swear) at: http://cfspryforms.danakowalski.com

CF Spry Forms alleviates the need to write any of the javascript involved with using Spry form validation widgets. You simply use a custom tag or cfmodule and some input parameters.

There is a built-in help and debugging in each tag and some shoddy documentation. Check it out and let me know what you think so far.

I had so many things I wanted to do under this domain but best of intentions yada yada.

I've been learning jquery a bit more, I picked up another book in the head first series to help my OO skills since their seriously lacking. I've also been playing with modifying a project I started a long time ago and adding in spry and reworking it.

I'd have much less time if a certain team would turn the corner on that losing decade.

the tabbed panels example looks like this:

If you cut and paste it doesn't work. The fix is the lack of 's' on the constructor and a lot of the classes (Spry.Widget.TabbedPanel needs to be TabbedPanels etc)

Here is a fresh cut and paste you can use instead:

also note the examples and demos etc aren't consistent with each other as one has css classes wrong, the other has the contructor wrong etc. enjoy

new to spry 1.4 is the move away from needing to use {ds_EvenOddRow} and the same class names. You can now use the attributes spry:even and spry:odd in your dynamic region

Example:

There is also no need to use them both as a requirement either, so you can set one but keep the other based on your css defaults. 1.4 gets better and better the deeper I go in the documentation!

I have a very simple example of using the textfield and textarea validation widgets on my contact form.

So far I don't see any common shared spry files anywhere, but rather a collection of .js files that overlap functions. I ended up going through the textfield and textarea js files and merging them into spry.js to remove the clutter of duplicate functions. Seems like there should be an easier way to do that. Have you found one ?
