Registration Requirements

Some items represented in the form are required others are not. Validation of the form happens once the submit button is selected. Once submitted all elements are stored in the user DB.

Tabs
There are two areas/tabs associated with the user's profile. The first tab is "

Vitals & Interests" (actual name TBD) - This tab is the defaulted ON tab and houses all non-mobile/phone information.
Mobile Info - houses all mobile and phone information

These same two tab labels also show under the Profile button/link in the left side navigation box.

The Form (Top to Bottom)
All form elements shuld be validated and stored in in the DB in the user's profile.

Profile Pic
1. Not required
2. If the user has already chosen a profile pic then that pic is displayed to the left of the profile pic input field. If a pic has not been chosen then the space the male or female profile placeholder pic supplied by the system is displayed
3. To change the pic the user must select the browse button to locate a pic on their computer's hard drive. The browse button initiates the JAVA pic browser interface - it is unclear how this will actually be integrated at the moment.
