[turba] Fwd: Turba Add Form

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

Personally, I'd rather add FormSprocket validation to fields so it gets done
server-side as well if we're going to do this...

Hey Chuck,

Just wrote this bit of javascript to allow forms to be checked for required
attributes in turba.  Thought it might be useful for add.inc and edit.inc etc.

For the user, in the turba/config/attributes.php file you simply add a boolean
value 'required' for each element.

eg...

$attributes['sn'] = array(
    'type' => 'text',
    'required' => true,
    'desc' => _("Family Name")
);

turba/templates/add/add.inc
diff -r1.1 add.inc
1c1,30
< <form name="add_object" action="<?=
Horde::applicationUrl('addobjectaction.php') ?>" method="post">
