Form field validation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When adding form fields it is possible to set if field is mandatory and 
default value.
It would be useful to add also field for regex pattern for validation of the 
field. (At least client validation).
And maybe most common validation patterns predefined such as email address.

Moreover why not introduce new html 5 field types such as email, url, tel, 
number, time, datetime. This will not break anything since if browser do not 
support it these are threated as text. But it is nice in new browsers.

Use jQuery.validation plugin.

After close look at jQuery.validation it offers few predefined validation 
classes. So 
integration in vosao will not bring much new validation functionality.

At last I decided to add validation regex with localized messages.

1. Create name field with "Mandatory" checkbox on
2. Create email field with "Mandatory" checkbox on and
   - "Regex validation code" set: 
      ^[a-zA-Z0-9._+&*# -]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*$
   - "Regex error message" set: 
      Provide valid email
