/**
 * Prado client-side javascript validation fascade.
 *
 * <p>There are 4 basic classes: {@link Prado.Validation}, 
 * {@link Prado.ValidationManager}, {@link Prado.WebUI.TValidationSummary}
 * and {@link Prado.WebUI.TBaseValidator}, 
 * that interact together to perform validation.
 * The {@link Prado.Validation} class co-ordinates together the
 * validation scheme and is responsible for maintaining references
 * to ValidationManagers.</p>
 *
 * <p>The {@link Prado.ValidationManager} class is responsible for 
 * maintaining refereneces
 * to individual validators, validation summaries and their associated
 * groupings.</p>
 *
 * <p>The {@link Prado.WebUI.TValidationSummary} takes care of displaying 
 * the validator error messages
 * as html output or an alert output.</p>
 *
 * <p>The {@link Prado.WebUI.TBaseValidator} is the base class for all 
 * validators and contains
 * methods to interact with the actual inputs, data type conversion.</p>
 *
 * <p>An instance of {@link Prado.ValidationManager} must be instantiated first for a
 * particular form before instantiating validators and summaries.</p>
 *
 * <p>Usage example: adding a required field to a text box input with
 * ID "input1" in a form with ID "form1".</p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="../prado.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
 * &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="../validator.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
 * &lt;form id="form1" action="..."&gt;
 * &lt;div&gt;
 * 	&lt;input type="text" id="input1" /&gt;
 *  &lt;span id="validator1" style="display:none; color:red"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt;
 *  &lt;input type="submit text="submit" /&gt;
 * &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
 * new Prado.ValidationManager({FormID : 'form1'});
 * var options =
 * {
 *		ID :				'validator1',
 *		FormID :			'form1',
 *		ErrorMessage :		'*',
 *		ControlToValidate : 'input1'
 * }
 * new Prado.WebUI.TRequiredFieldValidator(options);
 * new Prado.WebUI.TValidationSummary({ID:'summary1',FormID:'form1'});
 *
 * //watch the form onsubmit event, check validators, stop if not valid.
 * Event.observe("form1", "submit" function(ev)
 * {
 * 	 if(Prado.WebUI.Validation.isValid("form1") == false)
 * 		Event.stop(ev);
 * });
 * &lt;/script&gt;
 * &lt;/div&gt;
 * &lt;/form&gt;
