Because it's a preview for that purpose--to PREview it to ensure that what's being sent out is correct. I want the users to be able to preview the letter as it's being sent so they can see if there are errors, see if they're sending the correct content, make sure what they write doesn't overlap with any existing, pre-defined content, etc.
Then, we'd allow it to pass and then it does get displayed again. I want the users to be able to edit the form before it's gone out the door. > -----Original Message----- > From: Gyrus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, December 15, 2002 10:50 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Mildly OT: JS, Form, Passing Vars > > > Why use a pop-up?
