Is there an easy way to validate the contents of a text field?  I would
like to confirm that the contents are a dollar amount (can be
represented by a float with no more than two decimal places).

Do I need to subclass TextField?  I had thought of using Float.valueOf()
to actually turn the contents into a float, but how do I make sure that
there are no more than two decimal places?

Thanks,
DR
