Cakephp form validation using plugin

Question

I am using jQuery in my cakephp forms. I want to add validation using the way I have added my plugin. Putting required on selected input element automatic validates it. No matter if I add my plugin or not. I have included js helper..

public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form', 'Js'=>'jQuery', 'Text');

Like this. I want to stop the traditional way it follows for auto validation. And put the validation according to my requirement. I know cakephp 1.x version it follows the same way I want. but changes have been made in cakephp 2.x version for it autovalidation ? how can I stop that ?

Do I understand correctly; you want to perform validation with JavaScript only? — thaJeztah

HTML5 form validation

Depending on the browser you're using, the validation-messages you see are probably part of the HTML5 validation performed by the browser. Recent versions of Chrome will automatically perform Form Validation for input elements that have a required attribute.

You can disable HTML5 validation by adding a novalidate attribute to the <form> tag.

See this question for more information:

Disable validation of HTML5 form elements

Note

Although validating with jQuery can be a nice addition (from a user-interface perspective), you should never rely on validation in the browser alone. Always be sure to perform proper server-side validation. In CakePHP this is done in the models, see Data Validation
