======================================
============== DESCRIPTION =============
This code snippet creates an dynamic password validator for a password fields in a form resembling the functionality provided by ASP.Net.
=========================================
========== INSTALLATION AND USAGE =============
1. Include the javascript file (passwordvalidator.js) in the head or body of your HTML page
Example:
2. Place the following password calling code IMMEDIATELY after the password field you want to validate
and replace passwordid with the ID of the password field being validated. Keep the double qoutes.
Example:
==========================================
And thats it! You have your own password field validator.
============= FEATURES ==================
- Editable validation settings to create a custom password field
- i18n support for strings
- Customisable UI
- Use on any number of password fields
============================================
============= FUTURE PLANS ==================
- Allow validator to block all submits until field is validated
- Allow automatic addition of validator to all password fields by just including
- Create XML markup tag syntax to enable designers to create validator as in .NET
