Re: Data validation, mapping, and error handling

Something interesting I found is that it never gets past the date validation
in FF on Linux, but it works just fine from FF on Windows.

This is a pretty cool feature!  Doesn't get much simpler than the code you
posted!  Now, how would the programmer by-pass the auto validation if they
wanted/needed to?  That is why most frameworks lose points is because they
help you in many areas, but for exceptions it is incredibly difficult.
