After submitting a form, you should validate your data. In Joomla this can be done via the JForm validate method (normally called in the controller via the model JModelForm).

Unlike client-side validation, the validation uses html attributes to do its validation. There is the attribute '''required''' ("true" or "required") which makes a field required and the attribute '''validate''' with a joomla or custom rule value.

E.g. field in a joomla form xml
<source lang="xml"><field name="email" type="text" class="inputbox" description="Fill in your E-mail" label="E-mail" required="true" validate="email" size="30" /></source>

== Validation rules ==

|- style="background-color:Wheat; font-weight:bold; text-align: left;"
