Exactly, a good starting point. If it where me, I would just add no validate to the form and use the sited API adding messages to a div. I like that you can though, good info.

Ah pretty cool I would indeed opt for custom validation since designers love inline validation or some custom view to it.

Pretty neat however we can use it to set custom validation as well!
Going to spend some time on this and see what I can find out about this validation API and custom errors.

Just found this explanation:

Just looking at the last description he still uses the javascript method to get all the forms elements.
Just trying to say even with the validation API it still seems to have it's use-cases to get all a form's elements?
