Form Validation Script

Summary of tests

First Name – This is a required field and it will be validated when it loses focus… error will be reported via alert message… This uses the basic RequiredValidator.
Middle Name – This is a required field and it will be validated when it loses focus… error will be reported by inserting a message into a div below the form… this uses the basic RequiredValidator.
Last Name – This is a field that requires a minimum sized entry (5 characters) and it will be validated every time a key is pressed and released. Note that this field starts up invalid (its label it highlighted in red) and will be made valid by entering 5 characters or more (label will revert to black) and will be made invalid again if the length falls below this minimum… This uses the basic MinLengthValidator.
Date Of Birth – This is a field that must be entered in the form MM/DD/YYYY and is validated when it loses focus… error will be reported by inserting a message into a div below the form. This uses an add-on validator called DateValidator.
eMail Address – This is a field that must be entered in the form user@domain.com and is validated when it loses focus… error will be reported via alert message. This uses the basic RegexFalidator.
