MM_validateForm() arguments

What are the arguments for this function:

function MM_validateForm() { //v4.0
var i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_valida teForm.arguments;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2]; val=MM_findObj(args);
if (val) { nm=val.name; if ((val=val.value)!="") {
if (test.indexOf('isEmail')!=-1) { p=val.indexOf('@');
if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain an e-mail
address.\n';
} else if (test!='R') { num = parseFloat(val);
if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.\n';
if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf(':');
min=test.substring(8,p); max=test.substring(p+1);
if (num<min || max<num) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number
between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n';
} } } else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is required.\n';
}
}
if (errors) alert('The following error(s) occurred:\n'+errors);
document.MM_returnValue = (errors == '');
}


Dreamweaver uses it like this: onSubmit="MM_validateForm('name','','R')

'name' ---> is the field's name
'' --> this is what I don't know. I guess it could be to specify the type of
the field, and maybe allow to use the function with radiobuttons or checkboxes
'R' ----> indicates that the field is required


could anyone please help me with this? I'll be very thankful...

If I recall correctly this argument is blank for compatibility with previous
versions of Dreamweaver. Macromedia doesn't remove the arguments, they just
insert empty strings instead. Usually a look at the Behavior files will give
you an idea about this; they're pretty good about adding comments in the
behavior files to indicate why they do things like this.

Hope that helps,
