wForms 2.0 Released
wForms is a javascript library that enhances the web form experience without the need for any programming. If you’re not familiar with wForms, here’s a short overview of what it can do:
- show / hide conditional sections based on answers to multiple-choice questions;
- highlight contextual information when a field is in focus;
- validate fields and show appropriate error messages (available in 17 languages);
- repeat form fields;
- and simulate multi-page forms
wForms allows you to make your forms simpler, shorter and ultimately easier to fill out. It is also unobtrusive. If for some reason wForms doesn’t run in someone’s browser - javascript turned off for instance - your form will still work.
wForms 2.0 has improved supports for Mac browsers, a tighter and faster code and is also more modular, paving the road for further enhancements. I will be posting more specific information about the new features in the coming days.
In the meantime you can download it, read more about it and post your feedback here in the comments, or in the support forum.

Just a question : why you didn’t choose the “prototype.js” way of coding ?
Anyway, it’s a great job and if I’m not happy with that, I can do it myself !
Thanks

Well, first I didn’t want wForms to require a 3rd party library, and secondly there isn’t so much overlap between the two, so it would just have added a lot of unused code.
