CGI::FormBuilder is awesome, but the javascript validation is a little old school in that it all pops up in an alert box. I'd like to add a more modern type of validation that would put the error messages next to the items on the form. Is something like this already being worked on? Does this seem like an okay addition? Thanks!

Hi,

for safety reasons I recommend using validation on the server. I do it
that way and use a simple template to display the error message next to
the invalid data field
