// BASIC DATA VALIDATION FUNCTIONS
// INTERNATIONAL

// This is a set of JavaScript functions for validating input on 
// an HTML form.  Functions are provided to validate:
//
//      - email addresses
//	- dates (entry of year, month, and day and validity of combined date)
//
// Supporting utility functions validate that:
//
//      - characters are Letter, Digit, or LetterOrDigit
//      - strings are a Signed, Positive, Negative, Nonpositive, or
//        Nonnegative integer
//      - strings are a Float or a SignedFloat
//      - strings are Alphabetic, Alphanumeric, or Whitespace
//      - strings contain an integer within a specified range
//


// Global variable defaultEmptyOK defines default return value 
// for many functions when they are passed the empty string. 
// By default, they will return defaultEmptyOK.
//
// defaultEmptyOK is false, which means that by default, 
// these functions will do "strict" validation.  Function
// isInteger, for example, will only return true if it is
// passed a string containing an integer; if it is passed
// the empty string, it will return false.
//
// You can change this default behavior globally (for all 
// functions which use defaultEmptyOK) by changing the value
// of defaultEmptyOK.
//
// Most of these functions have an optional argument emptyOK
// which allows you to override the default behavior for 
// the duration of a function call.
//
// This functionality is useful because it is possible to
// say "if the user puts anything in this field, it must
// be an integer (or a phone number, or a string, etc.), 
// but it's OK to leave the field empty too."
// This is the case for fields which are optional but which
// must have a certain kind of content if filled in.

var defaultEmptyOK = false

// REGULAR EXPRESSION DECLARATIONS
// Notes which apply to all the regexps below:
// (1) We want to only match strings exactly. In other words,
//     we only want to return true if the string being tested
//     matches the regular expression with no leading or trailing
//     unmatched characters. So, we begin each regexp with
//     the special character ^ (which matches beginning of input)
//     and end each regexp with the special character $ (which
//     matches end of input).
// (2) In the below comments we use these abbreviations:
//     BOI = Beginning Of Input
//     EOI = End Of Input
// (3) For explanations of the regexp special characters such as
//     ^ $ \s + [] \d * ! ? \ .
