Livevalidation framework - thoughts custom validations!

Question

Heya Folks,Not exactly a support post, more of a work in progress, and one that possibly other people could use or decide to chip into!Firstly I have merged an ajax check for username/email, initially from Samoht, in this  thread with custom form validations and live validation from this threadNow the principles all work fine - I have multiple validations including string leangth, must have number in password, fields must match, username is unique etc etc,  however I am trying to explore a few extra things:1) Using a custom function as validation - http://livevalidation.com/documentation - it is supported, on the basis of using a function that will run the ajax piece, and return  a true/false argument. I am wondering if easier to explore turning the ajax query into a function to be called, or perhaps to set a global $varr in the ajax code, and make a very simple function to check the value of the $var ??The idea here is to be able to control ajax responce so you can see \can't be blank\invalid username\username in use etc all in the same place - or 'valid'.2) Outputing a graphic / settng css as the result of a function ? I am wondering how I can (for example) show a tick or cross next to a field - either in place of, or as well as an error message!3) Controlling the position of the validation output - havent even begun to look at this yet!Current form code is here (note you will need the ajax form as well from the other post!)      $script = "window.addEvent('domready', function() {      $('uname').addEvent('blur', function(e) {        e = new Event(e).stop();        // Show the spinning indicator when pressing the submit button...         $('indicator1').setStyle('display','block');        var username = $('uname').value;        if ( username != '' ) {          var url = 'index2.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=ajax_form&username='+username+'&tmpl=component';          new Ajax(url, {            method: 'get',            onSuccess: parseResult          }).request();        }        function parseResult(request)        {          $('indicator1').setStyle('display','none');          var msg = request.split('##@##');          $('username_msg').setHTML(msg[1]);        }      });             $('email').addEvent('blur', function(e) {        e = new Event(e).stop();        // Show the spinning indicator when pressing the submit button...         $('indicator2').setStyle('display','block');        var email = $('email').value;        if ( email != '' ) {          var url = 'index2.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=ajax_form&email='+email+'&tmpl=component';          new Ajax(url, {            method: 'get',            onSuccess: parseResult          }).request();        }        function parseResult(request)        {          $('indicator2').setStyle('display','none');          var msg = request.split('##@##');          $('email_msg').setHTML(msg[1]);        }      });         });";        global $mainframe;if ($mainframe->isSite()){  $doc =& JFactory::getDocument();  $doc->addScriptDeclaration($script);};$script .= "var uname = new LiveValidation('uname', {   validMessage: 'This is a valid username',   wait: 500});uname.add(Validate.Presence, {  failureMessage: 'Username must not be blank!'});uname.add(Validate.Format, {  pattern: /^[a-zA-Z\-_]{4,16}$/,   failureMessage: 'Username must be between 4 and 16 characters' });";$script .= "var firstname = new LiveValidation('firstname', {   validMessage: 'This is a valid Name',   wait: 500});firstname.add(Validate.Presence, {  failureMessage: 'Name must not be blank!'});firstname.add(Validate.Format, {  pattern: /^[a-zA-Z\-_]{2,16}$/,   failureMessage: 'We allow between 3 and 16 characters' });";$script .= "var surname = new LiveValidation('surname', {   validMessage: 'This is a valid Surname',   wait: 500});surname.add(Validate.Presence, {  failureMessage: 'Surname must not be blank!'});surname.add(Validate.Format, {  pattern: /^[a-zA-Z\-_]{2,16}$/,   failureMessage: 'We allow between 3 and 16 characters' });";$script .= "var email = new LiveValidation('email', {   validMessage: '*enter valid message here*',   wait: 500});email.add(Validate.Presence, {  failureMessage: '*enter failure message here*'});email.add(Validate.Email);";$script .= "var email_1 = new LiveValidation('email_1', {   validMessage: '*enter valid message here*',   wait: 500});email_1.add(Validate.Presence, {  failureMessage: 'Email must not be blank!'});email_1.add(Validate.Confirmation, { match: 'email' } );";$script .= "var password = new LiveValidation('password', {   validMessage: '*enter valid message here*',   wait: 500});password.add(Validate.Presence, {  failureMessage: 'Password must not be blank'});password.add(Validate.Format, {  pattern: /^(?=.*?[a-zA-Z])(?=.*?[0-9]).*$/,   failureMessage: 'Password must be between 8 and 16 characters, with at least one letter and one number' });";$script .= "var password_1 = new LiveValidation('password_1', {   validMessage: '*The Password is Valid!*',   wait: 500});password_1.add(Validate.Presence, {  failureMessage: 'Password must not be blank!'});password_1.add(Validate.Confirmation, { match: 'password' } );";$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();$script = "window.addEvent('domready', function() {$script});";$doc->addScriptDeclaration($script);?>                                            Essential Information     Account Name:    Your Name:     Account Email:        Password:                               Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
