ASP / Javascript Password Strength Function

I need a function to analyze password fields. As the user is typing into a password field this function should analyze the password strength and respond in a highly graphical fashion indicating WEAK, OK, and STRONG passwords. The graphics should encourage STRONG or OK Passwords and discourage WEAK passwords. I see 2 parts of this bid. And you should answer HOW you will do these 2 parts. #1. How will you ensure the function calculates the strongest passwords are used? Will you look for symbols? CAPS changes? Numbers being used? Length criteria? Common latin words that Cynthia from accounting uses? Ok maybe not the last part but what else? #2. How entertaining and interesting can the graphical notification be? You decide! : Will it be an image of impending doom for using a weak password and a triumphant gate of babylon for the strong password? A simple yet easy to indentify CHECK vs WRONG vs OK graphic? Or a depressed looking 3D monkey who becomes happier the more symbols and numbers you use, eventually jumping up and down and doing cartwheels when you chose a strong password... (Extra Points if you don't violate copyrights on Donkey Kong II. ) So please answer #1 and #2 and make sure you know how to and intend on it being easily called through JAVASCRIPT AND/OR ASP so regardless the occasion I can report the results of analyzing their password whether real-time or after the fact.
