<HTML>
<BODY>

<FORM name=frmMain method=POST>

Enter Your Name
<BR>
<INPUT NAME="txtName">
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="GO!" ONCLICK="verifyForm();">

</FORM>

</BODY>
</HTML>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">

function verifyForm()
{

// make sure they put something in the text box
if (document.frmMain.txtName.value == "")
// give message
window.alert("You didn't enter your name!")
else
// submit form
document.frmMain.submit();

}
</SCRIPT>

Tom (Clunietp) is right as usual but I would put the Javascript between <head> </head> tags at the top to ensure the code is visable to the whole page.

Hi Mark

What is the difference if I put the code between the HEAD tags instead of before or after the HTML tags? I usually like to separate my HTML from my Javascript functions and it works in IE and Netscape

I'm not formally trained in Web Dev so if you could give me an explanation, that would be great

many thanks!

Tom

I'm self taught as well.

I remember reading it somewhere probably on http://www.irt.org because that used to be my main source of reference.

I just had I quick search around on it but I can't find it now.



OK so I found just it:
