call: required / req
desc: The field should not be empty 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
call: maxlen=??? / maxlength=???
desc: checks the length entered data to the maximum. For example, if the maximum size permitted is 25, give the validation descriptor as "maxlen=25"  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
call: minlen=??? / minlength=???
desc: checks the length of the entered string to the required minimum. example "minlen=5"  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
call: alphanumeric / alnum
desc: Check the data if it contains any other characters other than alphabetic or numeric characters  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
call: num / numeric
desc: Check numeric data  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
call: alpha / alphabetic
desc: Check alphabetic data.  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
call: email
desc: The field is an email field and verify the validity of the data.  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
call: url
desc: The field is an url field and verify the validity of the data.  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
call: lt=??? / lessthan=???
desc: Verify the data to be less than the value passed. Valid only for numeric fields. 
example: if the value should be less than 1000 give validation description as "lt=1000"  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
call: gt=??? / greaterthan=???
desc: Verify the data to be greater than the value passed. Valid only for numeric fields. 
example: if the value should be greater than 10 give validation description as "gt=10"  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
call: regexp=???
desc: Check with a regular expression the value should match the regular expression.
example: "regexp=^[A-Za-z]{1,20}$" allow up to 20 alphabetic characters.  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
call: dontselect=??
desc: This validation descriptor is valid only for select input items (lists) Normally, the select list boxes will have one item saying 'Select One' or some thing like that. The user should select an option other than this option. If the index of this option is 0, the validation description should be "dontselect=0"  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
call: check
desc: This validation descriptor is valid only for checkboxes. Simply checks if a checkbox is checked
