Formtool Validation

Overview

The standard formtool library leverages Dexagogo's Really Easy Field Validation, based on the prototype library. The basic method is to attach to the form's onsubmit event, read out all the form elements' classes and perform validation if required. If a field fails validation, reveal field validation advice and prevent the form from submitting.
