A jQuery inline form validation

A jQuery inline form validation

Forms? Errors? We all know this! This script helps you with it: When an error needs to be displayed, the script creates a div and positions it in the top right corner of the input. This way you don’t have to worry about your HTML form structure. The rounded corner and shadow are done with CSS3 and degrade well in non compliant browsers. There is no images needed.
