My solution to the page_validators is undefined error

Off and on over the years I have been haunted by the error "page_validators is undefined". Today it was coupled with "Unterminated string constant". I figured out why it was happening to me. I dynamically add validators to a page where i dynamically add textboxes to be filled in by users. In my code i determine the IDs of those validators by the names of configured fields. I noticed an embedded CRLF in one of my configured field names which was causing the generated validation script to also have a CRLF. In the script, I saw the closing quotation mark on the next line which was where the "Undetermined String Constant" error was coming from. Page_Validators is undefined just bubbled from that. So the moral of this story is make sure you don't have any hidden characters that are messing with your validation!
