/*INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM CONSTRUCTION

1.	<form> tag has to have both name and id attributes 

2.	Submit Button: 
	<input
		type="button" 
		value="SUBMIT" 
		class="inputbutton" 
		onclick="javascript: validateForm(formName);"
	>


3.	Each form element (field) that requires validation needs to have CUSTOM (that do not exist in DOM) attributes.
 These attributes are 
static and hold variable/value pairs that are used but JS script. New attributes (the ones that are not listed below) need to have new 
corresponding functions and variables in the script.

	Currently used attributes:
		a.	"required" ::  values: "yes" | "no". Lack of the attribute is treated as "no".
		EXAMPLE: required="yes"
		b.	"syntaxtype" :: values: 
		i.	"email" :: eMail;
		ii.	"zipcodeus" :: US convention;
		iii.	"phoneus" :: for the US phone;
		iiii. unique : Checking value from form against value stored in database for uniqueness. 
		               If this form field is prepopulated from DB atrribute unique must come in pair with attribute storeddValue.
	    v.    storedValue : the value that is stored in database. Comes in pair with unique. (for not prepopulated form not required)
	EXAMPLE: syntaxtype="email"

	The values are prefixes to the existing functions. EXAMPLE: email attribute is a prefix to emailValidate() function.
	(Foreign postal codes and phones are not validated at present.)

	c.	"maxlength" :: values: any integer :: optional, redundant to the existing browser DOM attribute;
		EXAMPLE: maxlength="64";
	d.	"minlength" ::  values: any integer;
		EXAMPLE: minlength ="5";
	e.	"allowedchars" :: values: var name that holds a string with the allowed characters that can be used in the field. The variable needs to be declared and assigned value to in the head of the script. The value of this attribute is CASE SENSITIVE and must match exactly JS variable name (JS enforcement).
		EXAMPLE: 
		In JS head:
		var phoneAllowed = '0123456789-';
		Input attribute:
		Allowedchars=" phoneAllowed"
	f.	"buttongroup" :: value: the same name as the checkbuttons are given to. Grouping is accomplished by name.
	g.	"mincheck" :: value: integer. Describes how many buttons in a group must be checked minimum.
	h.	"maxcheck" :: value: integer. Describes how many buttons in a group must be checked maximum.

EXAMPLES OF FORM ELEMENTS CONSTRUCTIONS:

<input 
	type="text" 
	name="phone2" 
	id="phone2" 
	value="" 
	size="20" 
	class="inputtext"
	required="no"
	label="Phone 2"
	syntaxtype="phoneus"
	maxlength="12"
>

<input 
	type="text" 
	name="address1" 
	id="address1" 
	value="" 
	size="60" 
	class="inputtext"
	required="no"
	allowedchars="addressAllowed"
	label="Address 1"
	maxlength="32"
>
