trying to use the validation in dform (not working yet) - with:
jquery.validate.min.js
Cleaned up around SmartyUtil::setStatusMessages() .. including rm'd
duplicate code
some cleanup and refactoring out use of msg code in url
refactored check for missing fields, and setting error message at the
point where error is found .. not down stream in this case
refactored for getValidHttpPostResetPwd() .. cleanup & centralizing code
in helper function
added functions for checking a registration user id & pwd do not exist.
added setFieldsFromPostData() to reset the fields for an error case
finished out missing error handler & related logic in actionRegister()
added helpers:
function getValidHttpPostResetPwd()

function getPostParam($paramName=null)
filled out missing logic in actionRegister()
tried to add logic for repopulating the fields in loginForm .. not
working and not sure why; so commenting out for now
