blank fields ignorance not work for javascript minlength

           Summary: blank fields ignorance not work for javascript minlength
           Product: Struts
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Validator Framework
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: r_q_d@yahoo.com


The blank fields ignorance for minlength check is working for server side 
validation, but is not working for client javascript validation.

In order to support this feature, we need to change the minlength check 
javascript from:
    if (field.value.length < iMin) {
to 
    if (field.value.length < iMin && field.value.length > 0 ) {


The following text is from 
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html :

Blank fields. 

The default validator-rules.xml now ignores blank fields for all the basic 
validation types. If you require a field to be present then to your 
applications validator.xml field definition add "required" to the depends 
attribute.
