In 1998, the producers of the South Park satire television commercial for Steve Kubby's California gubernatorial campaign won a Pollie -- the political advertising equivalent of the Oscar. We've come a long way since then, especially in the ability to pump video through the Internet and direct to

Still playing with the vertically-aligned example and trying out various features, including the validation constraints and error messages. But how to test the input error checking without lots of code or embedding into another program? It is possible to feed sample input values into FormFu
