Usage:

1. Insert the necessary elements in your document. CSS is optional, e.g.:

    <script type='text/javascript' src='/js/daftValidation.js'></script>
   

2. Initialise, e.g.:

    <script type='text/javascript'>
    	$(document).ready(function() {
    		$('.daftValidation').daftValidation();
    	});
    </script>
   

3. Add settings to the HTML

    <input data-validation='{"rules":["required"],"messages":["Please fill this in"]}' data-success='{ "messages" : "Success" }' />
   

Warning

The biggest issue with this approach is that the attribute must be valid JSON. Quotes or double quotes in the messages will break the parsing.
