Using PHP, is there a way for me to read the values that a user has entered into the text fields of a <FORM> prior to the user clicking the submit button? Essentially what I want to do is make sure the user has filled in all three text fields on my form before allowing it to be submitted [to a third party website]. -- Tim Rude [PHP newbie]

Tim: Can not do that using php. Php is server-side and hasn't a clue as to what the user is doing until the user clicks the submit. If you want to check for user input in real-time, then you'll have to do that client-side with javascript. Here's an example: http://webbytedd.com/c/form-submit/ All the code is there -- use as you may. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
