Magic forms

The magic forms module supplies several FAPI tweeks allowing for easier customization of forms.

Features include:

• Custom error handling
  • Grouped error messages (multiple errors per field).
  • Grouped error messages anchored to the respective fields.
  • Field errors - Place the error in the field wrapper.
  • Field error wrapper - Place a error wrapper around the field with a custom css class.
• Skip form validation - Can set which fields (cancel, delete, etc) which should not validate the form, allowing a node to be deleted without it needed to validate.
• Field validation
  • Field validation callbacks with custom error messages.
  • URL validation - valid url, scheme and domain.
  • Email validation - valid email and domain.
  • Custom validators supplied via hooks.
• HTML5
  • Placeholder - with jQuery compatibility if the browser does not support it.
  • Required.
  • HTML5 fields - email, url and number.

The configuration can be applied to the form using FAPI (hook_form, hook_form_alter) or using the UI.
