when dabbling in the dark side (javascript) i find it better to use a
wrapper library and let them do the cross-browser stuff, try:

Prototype http://www.prototypejs.org/
MooFX http://moofx.mad4milk.net/

There are many others.

This blog article looks quite good on validation using Prototype, will
have to read that myself ;-)
