Trust your users, do ya? <wry grin> If you don't want to handle validation on the server side using PHP, you should probably look at a JavaScript solution that checks to see if the number is between a given range after some event (like the form element losing the focus) and popping up a dialog box if it's not valid. Try internet.com's Javascript area or another JS site to find a code snippet that does what you want. -- Steve Werby COO 24-7 Computer Services, LLC Tel: 804.817.2470 http://www.247computing.com/
