I tried your code, and it works fine for me. However, the password
"Testpwd" should actually result in an error because the IS_STRONG()
validator defaults to number=1 (i.e., at least one number in the password),
and you didn't change that default. So, you should get an error on the
password field. If the error isn't showing up, perhaps there's a problem
with your view code. Have you created a custom form in the HTML?
