Haha... ummm... I... uhh... don't have a link because I made a mistake.
What really happened was when I clicked on a product on the site a small
popup window appeared. This window had very little information on it and
so was very light. When I clicked Add to Cart it submitted and refreshed
so fast I didn't see a flicker, and therefore it looked like it was
using some kind of client-side validation.
I rechecked it just now and noticed the flicker so that's how I knew I
was wrong.
But still this sort of client-side validation is something that will go
onto my long term todo list. And it's like Curt described, instead of
popping a window you make a <div> or <span> or something like that
appear.
Chris.
p.s. Just in case you want to see the site I'm talking about it's
