Lively Validator is the jQuery plugin that validates form input data. It checks that only valid data is submitted, and also provides a user-friendly, responsive
and lively interface to guide users as they fill out a form. With a selection of over 30 different validation types including required, confirm, alphabetic, credit card numbers,
minimum and maximum number or characters, file size, file type and dates.
The plugin displays two types of messages: guides and alerts. Both are displayed in stylish tooltips whenever a user points their mouse over a form’s field. Guides are
displayed when a field is empty, and contains instructions on how to fill the form field. Alert messages are displayed whenever a field is incorrectly filled, and warn the
user about a problem.
