// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Javascript form validation routines.
// Author: Stephen Poley
//
// Simple routines to quickly pick up obvious typos.
// All validation routines return true if executed by an older browser:
// in this case validation must be left to the server.
//
// Update Aug 2004: have tested that IE 5.0 and IE 5.5 both support DOM model
// sufficiently well, so innerHTML option removed (redundant).
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------

var nbsp = 160;    // non-breaking space char

// Trim leading/trailing whitespace off string

{
  // setting an empty string can give problems if later set to a 
  // non-empty string, so ensure a space present. (For Mozilla and Opera one could 
  // simply use a space, but IE demands something more, like a non-breaking space.)
