CUSTOM and SUBMIT

Two questions:
 
1. Is there a prefered way to repopulate the values of fields in a CUSTOM
tag? Trying to insert variables the first time through doesn't seem to work.
Time for some preparse perl snippets?
 
2. I've been eyeing the SUBMIT tag for a way of further validating fields,
for example, if a field is supposed to be a zipcode, I'd like to check if it
is 5 digits. If not, I want to issue an error and drop into the usual
mod_survey error handling.

Could there be an opportunity for a validation component here?
 
One suggestion for an improvement: rather than pop to a seperate page that
tells you that you have a problem and encourages you to hit the back button,
why not just redisplay the survey page with a little error message up top?
If not, then at least give the user a back link on the page:  <a
href="javascript:history.back(1)">back</a>
 
Oh, and thanks for the great software. :-)
