/************************************
 *
 * if you wish to do client side validation over write validate_form
 * after you have included global
 * your validate_form() should call validateForm(....)
 * which takes ( String inputName, String displayName, String test,. . . . .
 *
 * the tests are{ RisNum=Required Number, 	NisNum= Number,
 		  RisEmail=Required Email, 	NisEmail= Email,
 		  RinRange11:22=Required Number in Range first:last,
 		  NinRange11:22=Number in Range first:last }
 * EXAMPLE

function validate_form(){
	validateForm('inputName1','displayName1','RisNum','email','Your Email','RisEmail','Between','numRange','NinRange11:22');
}
