I looked quickly and see the following

<script>
var rules=new Array();
rules[0]='username|required';
rules[1]='password|minlength|8';
... and so forth ...
</script>

Does that mean I have to keep the order of my form field inputs in
sync with the rules array? That seems like a tall order when the HTML
authors start playing with the form's HTML.

Each form element has a name attribute. Could you have "rules" be an
object with properties where the property and form element's name
match?

----

Personally I like using a class attribute system and think that it is
semantic. For example,

<input class="val_username val_required"
<input class="val_minlength_8 val_password"

----

Have you played with validating a file form element onblur? I found
there is a problem (I think it was IE) because if the cursor is in the
text part of the file input and I click the "browse" button then the
validation error is shown. This may also be apparent when tabbing
through the form elements.

Your email check is faulty. It rules out many valid emails (I suppose
you check for a maximum of four letter for the TLD).
