//
// SUMMARY
//
// This is a set of JavaScript functions for validating input on 
// an HTML form.  Functions are provided to validate:
//
//      - U.S. and international phone/fax numbers
//      - U.S. ZIP codes (5 or 9 digit postal codes)
//      - U.S. Postal Codes (2 letter abbreviations for names of states)
//      - U.S. Social Security Numbers (abbreviated as SSNs)
//      - email addresses
//	- dates (entry of year, month, and day and validity of combined date)
//	- credit card numbers
//
// 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
//
// Functions are also provided to interactively check the
// above kinds of data and prompt the user if they have
// been entered incorrectly.
//
// Other utility functions are provided to:
//
// 	- remove from a string characters which are/are not 
//	  in a "bag" of selected characters	
// 	- reformat a string, adding delimiter characters
//	- strip whitespace/leading whitespace from a string
//      - reformat U.S. phone numbers, ZIP codes, and Social
//        Security numbers
//
//
// Many of the below functions take an optional parameter eok (for "emptyOK")
// which determines whether the empty string will return true or false.
// Default behavior is controlled by global variable defaultEmptyOK.
//
// BASIC DATA VALIDATION FUNCTIONS:
//
// isWhitespace (s)                    Check whether string s is empty or whitespace.
// isLetter (c)                        Check whether character c is an English letter 
// isDigit (c)                         Check whether character c is a digit 
// isLetterOrDigit (c)                 Check whether character c is a letter or digit.
// isInteger (s [,eok])                True if all characters in string s are numbers.
// isSignedInteger (s [,eok])          True if all characters in string s are numbers; leading + or - allowed.
// isPositiveInteger (s [,eok])        True if string s is an integer > 0.
// isNonnegativeInteger (s [,eok])     True if string s is an integer >= 0.
// isNegativeInteger (s [,eok])        True if s is an integer < 0.
// isNonpositiveInteger (s [,eok])     True if s is an integer <= 0.
// isFloat (s [,eok])                  True if string s is an unsigned floating point (real) number. (Integers also OK.)
// isSignedFloat (s [,eok])            True if string s is a floating point number; leading + or - allowed. (Integers also OK.)
// isAlphabetic (s [,eok])             True if string s is English letters 
// isAlphanumeric (s [,eok])           True if string s is English letters and numbers only.
// 
// isSSN (s [,eok])                    True if string s is a valid U.S. Social Security Number.
// isUSPhoneNumber (s [,eok])          True if string s is a valid U.S. Phone Number. 
// isInternationalPhoneNumber (s [,eok]) True if string s is a valid international phone number.
// isZIPCode (s [,eok])                True if string s is a valid U.S. ZIP code.

// isEmail (s [,eok])                  True if string s is a valid email address.
// isYear (s [,eok])                   True if string s is a valid Year number.
// isIntegerInRange (s, a, b [,eok])   True if string s is an integer between a and b, inclusive.
// isMonth (s [,eok])                  True if string s is a valid month between 1 and 12.
// isDay (s [,eok])                    True if string s is a valid day between 1 and 31.
// daysInFebruary (year)               Returns number of days in February of that year.
// isDate (year, month, day)           True if string arguments form a valid date.


// FUNCTIONS TO REFORMAT DATA:
//

//
// prompt (s)                          Display prompt string s in status bar.
// promptEntry (s)                     Display data entry prompt string s in status bar.
// warnEmpty (theField, s)             Notify user that required field theField is empty.
// warnInvalid (theField, s)           Notify user that contents of field theField are invalid.
