Introduction
Welcome to jFormer!
People hate forms, they hate making them, they hate filling them out, in fact.... forms are lame and no one likes them. jFormer is an effort to fix that. reducing form development to a mere fraction of the time. while still maintaining robust features including:
- Server and client side validation.
- Field tips and hints
- Multi-page forms
- managable server side data structrue
- you only need to write the PHP. all the javascript is taken care of.
We felt bad for forms, so we made jFormer, an easy, intuitive way to create your form
The great thing about jFormer is that it is free to use under the MIT license, so if you have a web form you need to build, then let us help you. not only is it easy, we have templates for a lot of common forms so we save you even more time. All you have to do is edit the CSS to make it your own.
So go ahead, get started. move on to the demonstration to see how it all works. we promise you won't be disappointed.
and with a little luck, forms will get a few more friends

Tried for 20 minutes to get your library to process a form submission without success. Your documentation could use a lot of work. Consider providing a working example for download.

Amen. I don't have time to try to figure out how to even get a form to show up on screen. Package a single, complete, simple form page in your ZIP for goodness sake! I can learn from that.
All the code fragments in the documentation are next to worthless, and the Tutorials are all blank.
I hate to rant, because this is offered *free* and it looks like it would be really nice. But, if I can't get a form on screen from my own web server in a few minutes, I'm not likely to waste much more time here.

I don't know much about PHP or jQuery. but, after dwelling into the core component design pattern study (A hobby of piping into others code...)
I can proudly say this is one of the best framework available across the dev side with respective forms (aka in a very simple form...)
I hearty appreciate the work so neatly delivered by the two college students, Do not worry about the things happening in and around, people always discriminate things which they cannot even think off, but when time comes it will soon payoff you guys...
Good work... Guys...
Hi All,
Can anybody will let me know how do used this form framework with asp.net.
@sonu - This is a PHP generator only. It will NOT work with ASP. You might try and convert the source but requires knowing PHP / jQuery to create the ASP equivalent.

Pls tell how to connect to mysql by "host root passwords"
we cannot find out the lines
Very nice plugin.
I already load jquery for other stuff but cant afford a 300 k increase in overhead just to present a fancy form.
This is a great plugin for those who dont want to get heavily involved with the php side and dont load a form on every page.

jformer.js is only 111k, dont know where you get 300k from.
