 * I am currently writing a plugin and as a result need some info on the best way
   to validate user input.
 * The server side of things is OK and wherever possible I have used built-in WordPress
   functions such as is_email etc. but now I want to enhance the form using some
   javascript validation for usability.
 * I have been looking at jQuery validate plugin but this doesn’t seem to be a bundled
   plugin with wordpress so I was wondering if there was another option available
   bundled with the WordPress core?
