Provides a simple way to assign default values to textboxes and textareas. Default values are only placed in empty fields. Values are cleared when the field is focused, and return when field loses focus (if the field wasn't populated). Plugin also captures the parent forms submission - so fields that still contain the default value when the form is submitted are emptied.

Very easy to apply field validation on a per field basis in the html <INPUT> declaration. Very user friendly in showing each field that has not passed validation. Easy support for restriction of characters in a field, i.e. phone number only allowing digits. Allows for associating the ENTER key with a specific function.

A progressive enhancement to select multiple form elements. It provides a simpler alternative with the following advantages:

• Easier for users to understand and interact with than regular select multiple form elements. Users know how to interact with it sans instruction.
• Doesn't require user to Ctrl-Click or Shift-Click multiple elements. Instead users of your form can add or remove elements individually, without risk of losing those that have already been selected.
• Selected elements are always visible (within the confines of your interface) while unselected elements are always hidden (within a regular select).
• Unlike regular select multiple option elements, those on asmSelect are optionally sortable with drag and drop (this part requires jQuery UI).
• asmSelect hides, maintains and updates the original select multiple so that no changes are required to existing code.
• If a user does not have javascript, then of course the regular select multiple form element is used instead.
• If the original select multiple form element is modified by some other jQuery or javascript code, the change will be reflected in the asmSelect as well.

ToggleVal gives you the option to populate the default text of form fields (in a few different ways), and will then toggle the default value when the field receives and loses keyboard focus.
