Resolving conflict with ASP.NET validators

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. On an ASP.NET form, add a regularexpressionvalidator to a textbox that
has a watermark applied to it
2. Press submit; the validator will validate against the watermark text and
fail. 

In order to get this working on my site, I've hijacked the
Page_ClientValidate function as follows:

// Allows you to hijack the Page_ClientValidate function and add 
// custom functionality before validation takes place. 
addTo_Page_ClientValidate = function(func) {
    if (typeof Page_ClientValidate != 'function') {
        Page_ClientValidate = func;
    } else {
        var oldPage_ClientValidate = Page_ClientValidate;
        Page_ClientValidate = function(validationGroup) {
            oldPage_ClientValidate(validationGroup);
            func(validationGroup);
        }
    }
};

// Fix to make jQuery watermark play nice with ASP.NET postbacks
addTo_Page_ClientValidate(function(validationGroup) {
$.watermark.hideAll(); });

FIXED IN VERSION 3.0.2.  Thank you for the feedback.

Added capability to hijack any number of JavaScript functions that, when 
called, 
first hide all watermarks and then call the originally-intended function. 
Initially, 
only the Page_ClientValidate is specified to be overridden. Others will be 
added if 
feedback dictates. If a function specified is not found on the page, the 
function 
name is ignored on that page.
