This is a prototype/scriptaculous based validator.

This validator is small, and highly configurable. You dont need a detailed

    knowledge of javascript to start using it.

Your first point of call is tests/index.html. To start using validator

    *   Make sure your form and form elements all have id

    *   Make sure your form has an action

    *   Make sure you have a submit button

    *   You can specify a function as your form action, see the second form

        in tests/index.html

    *   All the fields you want to validate will have a title attribute. This

        attribute will specify what kind of validation you want. You can also

        have a list of space, separated titles if you want more than one type

        of validation to be carried out. tests/index.html contain these scenarios.        

The file you will need to look at next is validator_rules.js. This is required

    only if you need to tweak validator in any way. If you are confortable with

    regular expressions, you can loook at var regex.

All changes you might ever want to make, should be done to this file.

The keen eyed will see that some messages dont have the corresponding

    regex definition. These ones will have their regex generated at run time.

If you also wish to generate some regex and/or messages at run time, use the

    function hooks(). An example is provided for you. Note that hooks should

    always return a true only when a hook is defined, that is the reson for the

    regular expression test as the first line of the function, else just return false.

    The variable v is the value of the element's title(if you provide multiple

    titles, hooks will be called on that element for each title) and e is the

    element being called. An example is provided in validator.js.

Please do not redefine the regex already defined without deleting them.

    This might cause undesirable effects.

Please do not name another method as validator_hooks or name a method starting

    with validator_, this might conflict with some methods in the plugin.

If you have a runtime determined regex, eg length{x} and a standard predefined regex,

    e.g required, the standard predefined should come first in the title, this is just

    a good practice, any arrangement will also work as well. eg

    <input type="text" name="fred" id="fred" title="required email length{6}" />

NOTE

For equals#id, {n} will be replaced by document.getElementById(id).name

BUGS

Making the id of a form field id i.e <input id="id" /> will break down validator completely
