Slightly different validation to that of jpwatts; developed with knowledge of that snippet but written up from scratch for use as a fallback for when the Javascript Assist is off.

I'm no master programmer, so feedback/comments/criticism is more than welcome.

The accompanying Javascript (xfn-admin.js) can be found here: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1266/.
