Looks good. However the field error message is visible when the mouse 
cursor hovers over the textbox, as they have used title="foo" in their 
html. So it's a little confusing when you put a valid url in the box and 
the popup message says 'Website is not valid'. But I like the easy 
customisation of messages, and the output is a little more refined than 
the output from my implementation of JavaScript::DataFormValidator. I 
wonder how easy it would be to port it to jQuery?
