auForm

The auForm class is part of the auLib package. Its purpose is to build form objects that can be used to output HTML and perform simple user input validation. It also attempts to fool spammers using a couple methods which should be undetectable by actual people. The included auForm.css should be integrated into sites using auForm in order to make sure the spam trap fields do not get seen by actual people.

Usage

Create a form using new auForm(), then build it using AddFieldSet(), AddData(), AddText(), AddField(), AddSelect(), AddMultiSelect(), and AddButtons(). Check Submitted() to see if the form was submitted, or to find out which submit button was used. Use CheckInput() to automatically validate fields. Use WriteHTML() to write out HTML code for the form. If any errors were found during CheckInput(), they will display above the problematic field.
