Description (last modified by Łukasz Rekucki)

Having client side javascript validation for forms having common fields like username having only alphanumerics or password and Confirm password fields matching by providing a validation class.

For example a user should be able to do something like :

forms.TextField(validators ="usernameValidation")

And automatically a javascript validation for this form field should be in place.

One way to do it could be using HTML5 attributes like ticket #16304.

Attachment: pattern_charfield.patch​ added

Supply accepted characters as a regular expression in CharField forms. Uses HTML5 attribute 'pattern' to provide the client side validation.

Per discussion on django-developers, I think we can accept this on principal (not the patch itself, as it doesn't have tests or docs). IMHO, best approach would be to use HTML5 features + provide some simple JavaScript ​fall back for not widely supported features.
