> When a form text input receives focus, the usual stuff is announced. So far, everything is fine. Once you start typing, though, a container appears below the input (after it in code order). The container holds a series of rules regarding the correct format for the input: At least a certain number of characters, no spaces, at least one numeral, there are four or five of these rules. Each rule is preceded by a graphic, either a red "X" or a green checkmark. Non-fulfilled rules have the "X", fulfilled rules the checkmark. When all rules are met the container disappears.
>
> I know this is problematic (for instance, the fulfilled/not-fulfilled state of each rule is not read out), but what would be the ideal way to communicate these kind of rules (for instance, for creating a user name or password)? Feel free to alter/remove the location of the container, the appearing/disappearing of the container, the graphic indicators, etc.
