Form validation problem

We've created this problem to evaluate how developers tackle a real-world problem. If you've been assigned this problem you should spend around 2 hours working on it. The last thing we want you to do is toil away for days on end!

If you've stumbled across this and want to work at Springload feel free to submit it too. We're always on the lookout for skilled developers.

Problem definition

Included in this repository is an index.html file that contains a form. You must ensure all of the following rules are met before the form is posted to the (in this case imaginary) server:

  • Email must be a valid email address.
  • Password must be longer than 8 characters.
  • Colour must be selected.
  • At least two Animals must be chosen.
  • If Tiger is one of the chosen Animals then Type of tiger is required to be a non-empty string.

Other requirements

If the form is submitted and an error occurs, the error element's parent should have a CSS error class added to it.

<p class="error">
    <label for="field"></label>
    <input id="field" type="text" value="foo">
</p>

The cherry on the cake

Beyond the problem statement, show us the consideration you have given to some or all of the following:

  • Documentation
  • Accessibility
  • Progressive enhancement
  • Browser support
  • Testing
  • Tooling
