I have a Q&A Form where Users can share there thoughts on small-
business.  The Form consists of 10 (optional) Questions.  Here
is a sample...  The only data validation I really do is making
sure the Answer < 1024 characters. And if there is a problem,
then I re-load the Form with the suspect Answers, and display a
message like "Answer cannot exceed 1,204 characters. Current is
1,500 characters."   1.) What kinds of Messages should I be
displaying?  One person suggested I place a message next to each
field regardless of the outcome, e.g.  - No changes were made -
Answer updated! - Answer added! - Answer cannot exceed 1,024
characters  Is that too much?  2.) Where should I display the
messages?  I like the idea that they are immediately below the
text Box so they don't mess up the spacing between the Label and
Input.  3.) What kind of "workflow" should I have?  In the past,
when an action was completed successfully (e.g. Form Updated,
Password Re-set, etc), I would re-direct to a new page and
display a message
