Re: Javascript Alert

I just saw David's post in this thread saying that PHP is server side, while JavaScript is client side-- he's quite right. In order for my code snippet below to work, it would have to be on the receiving end of the form, after it was submitted. It would work, but it would be kinda weird to have JavaScript alerts popping up _after_ the form was actually submitted...
