The stupid thing about this is, if it's programmed properly, it needn't bother a javascript-incapable browser. Such checking is activated by an onclick directive. If you have the submit action defined in the usual way, the onclick will be called first if javascript is available and, if it returns false, the submittion will not take place. Why people deliberately avoid such compatible code is beyond me. Geoff
