Hacking JavaScript

The standard solution is to write lots of JavaScript code to perform the validation:

This is not an ideal solution:

JavaScript is a large language that does much more than validation
programmers must write the same code again and again
even trivial programs tend to require testing and debugging

Immediate reaction of a Computer Scientist:

analyze the problem domain
create a domain-specific language
construct a compiler that will generate JavaScript code automatically
