What Is Spry Validation?
As we rely more on the Internet for transactions and information exchange, we experience a heightened need for protection. Spry validation serves as a critical management tool for identifying the proper user of a website and its entailing content.

Identification
-
Spry validation refers to when a website asks you to fill in certain fields to gain access. Inside those fields, the validation requires accuracy and consistency in the characters or letters that are entered. For example, if the site asks for an e-mail address or a password, the entries must match previous entries or those demands specific to the format (as in the use of @ in an e-mail address).
Features
-
The spry validation formats depend on the site. This may mean that specific fields are required and others are not. A field, such as in a password, may require a minimum number of characters used or a mix of letters, numbers and special characters. Different validation formats might also have time-expiration cues or error messages indicating invalid entries or a temporary denial of access.

States and the Widget
-
Spry validation uses a mechanism called a widget that analyzes and responds to the insertion of text. The widget leads the user through a series of states beginning with the initial and ending with the required. The initial state starts with the fresh browser page before the user enters data. This proceeds to either a valid or an invalid state, depending on the accuracy of the input. The valid state allows the user access to the site, whereas an invalid state ultimately results in "failure."
