auto correcting and live ajax calls

Reply with quote What is your approach to javascript / ajax features that autocorrect fields? Eg intelligent dropdowns, or when you type a code the field is automatically stripped of spaces?
Reply with quote Heard once that some users of assistive software had problems with pre-populated form fields - not sure if this is still the case. I'd be inclined to populate using JS so if assistive device accessing page isn't JS enabled (and hence not able to automatically remove filler text on focus) then it isn't pre-populated.

Also check that the JS isn't device specific i.e. works for more than just a mouse.

Also to possibly point out obvious, don't use as a substitute for the
Code:
<label>
element.

Reply with quote You don't have to use AJAX to validate text unless you like to send contents to the server. You can do that with just simple JS.
