Another example of what Im doing:I am passing a reference to the object itself, not just its som expression. This way I can access all...

Does anyone know how to define an event programmatically for a form object using JavaScript? My example is this:I am passing form fields to a validation function in a JavaScript object by calling scriptObj.addToValidation(this); from the field initialize event.The field object is added to a JavaScri...
