Good point. I don’t think that’s really a bug though; as you can just add the class to each of the inputs. Still, it’s a good point; if I have some time I’ll try and address it in our next release.

I might have found a bug, though. Try it on your test form (referenced above):

Cause the Sex radio group to fail validation, then select the radio for female. The advice doesn’t hide - guessing that the group isn’t re-validated as a whole because that specific radio is missing class=”validate-one-require”.

It works correctly if you select the radio for Male.

Many apologies. I missed that the class needs to be “validate-one-require” rather than “required”.

can you post a url to an example that isn’t working for you?

This doesn’t seem to work for required radio buttons (say, requiring that one in a group of radio buttons be chosen).

Am I missing something?

It should… here’s a simple test for you to try:

Didn’t see anything in the change log. Does this work on Safari yet?

I think Mootools 1.1 (due out imminently) fixes a lot of support for the most recent build of safari. I’ll wait until after it’s out to see if I need to refactor my stuff.

A mootools based form validator is something I’ve been looking for, for a while now and I know all the cnet libraries are great. Unfortunately they don’t seem to work for me in Safari 2.0.4 or a newer build of Webkit by giving me a long list of variables it cannot find the the debugger. It works beautifully in Firefox however.

Just letting you know and I look forward to using this in the future.
