Re: Script Question

this should be researched in the javascript archives: google -> groups -> javascript this is probably what you want var mytest = document.myform.myfield.value; if( mytest.toString() == "" ) alert( "No text in " + document.myform.myfield.name ); but i would suggest getting on that group..they are more experienced with javascript...
