// SUMMARY
//
// This is a set of JavaScript functions for validating input on 
// an HTML form.  Functions are provided to validate:
//
//      - U.S. phone/fax numbers
//      - U.S. ZIP codes (5 or 9 digit postal codes)
//      - email addresses
//	     - dates (entry of year, month, and day and validity of combined date)
//	     - credit card numbers
