With that disclaimer out of the way... remove the 'onclick' from your submit. change your <cfform> tag to this: <cfform action="t4.cfm" method="post" onsubmit="return check();"> you might also want to add an "else" into your check() function to return true. -- I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
