If you were "filling in a form" - I'd suggest replacing the submit button
with a graphic. I'd use an OnChange to validate the fields and swap the
image. The status should also prevent submission if not valid.
NB: this only works on JS enabled browsers.
For menus - you should be able to achieve a similar effect using CSS.
NB: this only works in latest browsers.
