*/
function ssp_form_alter($form_id, &$form){
  if (
$form_id == 'user_login' || $form_id == 'user_login_block'){
   
// We want the username to have a validation type of request
   
$form['name']['#attributes']['class'] = 'request';  
   
// and we want the path to be /validate/user (an additional argument of the value is passed)
   
$form['name']['#attributes']['validator-path'] = '/validate/user';  
  }
}

function
ssp_validate_user($username){
 
$output   = array();
 
$username = check_plain($username);
 
  if (
$user = user_load(array('name' => $username))){
   
// user is found
   
$output['valid'] = TRUE;
  }
  else {
   
// user is not found, provide an error message.
   
$output['valid']   = FALSE;
   
$output['message'] = t('Sorry the user <strong>!username</strong> was not found.', array('!username' => $username));
  }
  
 
// format the $output array as a javascript readable object which is then displayed, and
  // then we exit; to display only this JSON string on the page being requested by the javascript.
