jQuery Password Strength Checker

Apart from echoing out messages about functions and processes that the user has requested it is also important to add such feedback within other sections. I decided to implement a password strength checker within the register form using a jQuery function. The purpose of this is as the user enters their chosen password the system with provide them with feedback as to how safe and effective it is, not only does it show the user but also encourages them to adapt it if it is a weak combination. The process was quite quick as the register form had already been developed, I only needed to add an id name to the password field and referenced it on the jQuery function at the top of the page. I then download the jQuery script, saving it to my js folder with the rest of the jQuery functions, this document was linked to the web pages through the script tag. I used a tutorial as a guideline as it was just an addition to the rest of the functionality
