Spitshine

jQuery Validation Library for Twitter's Bootstrap v2.0

Spitshine requires the use of Bootstrap 2.0's new control-group structure and syntax for form elements, styles are applied to parent().parent() of the element in question.

	$(document).ready(function() {
					
		$('#form').spitshine();
		
		// Custom method, useful for AJAX and other more comples validators, or just inserting your function.
		$('#form').spitshine('method','required', function(selector) { if ($(selector).val() == '') { return false; }});
		
		// Don't use Bootstrap? Override the internal class functions to use with your own DOM structures.
		$('#form').spitshine('method','field_error', function (selector) {
			
			$(selector).parent().parent().addClass('error');
			$(selector).parent().parent().removeClass('success');
				
		});

		//Optional
		$('#submit').bind('click', function() { return $('#form').spitshine('valid'); });

	});

	<form id="form">
		<div class="control-group">
			<div class="input">
				<input class="valid-required valid-email valid-custom-required" id="email" name="email" type="text" />
				<span class="help-inline"></span>
			</div>
		</div>
		
		<!-- Optional -->
		<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="submit" onclick="return $('#form').spitshine('valid');" />
		
	</form>
