Hmm.
I suppose it would be easier to just do the validation in JavaScript... but
I **really** dont want to. It just seems inconsistent.
So there's no way to change what browser the validate() returns to once
I've submitted the form and I'm in the validate() method? Some attribute on
the request perhaps? I mean the request has to know where it's forwarding
to, right?
