Re: forms checking

Hi Maria PHP code is "triggered" and processed _before_ a page is sent to the client (server-side scripting). So there's no way executing php code once the page is already loaded in the browser. You have no choice using javascript (in any flavour) to do your checking (client-side scripting). Perhaps there are tools out there that will help you coding it (e.g. as Chris Boget worte: Jay Bloodworth's FormClass). HTH -Steff hi, is there a way with PHP to check fields in a form to make sure they aren't blank before submitting the form? Can you call a function to execute when a form is submitted like you can with JavaScript? Or are there event handlers like OnClick or OnBlur? Or even, can you use JavaScript functions with PHP?
