appForm is a Helper that used to submit a HTML Form. We can also add Validation and AJAX with it. See below format

 

App::Helper('JavaScript')->appForm(Element);
 
Element : Form can be a HTML Id, Class or Tag Name.

 

After attaching the HTML we can set validation rule in each input field. It's just a Class name in the tag to apply the rule. appFrom support below rules.
 

Class Name

check_notempty : Check Empty value

check_notdefault : Check Default value of a field

check_email : Check Valid email address

check_password  : Check Password

check_isnumber         : Check Numeric Value

check_alphanumeric: Check Alpha Numeric Value.

<form method="post" id="myform">
<ul>
  <li><input type="text" name="data[Myform][field1]" class="check_notempty" longdesc="Please enter a value" /></li>
