Thanks for this idea! That did the trick. I feel kind of silly I
didn't think of this simple solution myself. :)

Since I require this functionality for my application, I'm definitely
going to try to implement it. I'm not very familiar with subclassing
in a JavaScript context, so if you would be willing to provide a few
more hints about what I should be overriding/changing, I'd be
grateful. :) If I can somehow get it to validate an arbitrary group
of form elements, without depending on an enclosing form tag, I would
be good to go.
Many thanks,
