In order to cause a window to popup, you need to perform the test
with JavaScript on the client side.
For version 4+ browsers (which use JavaScript 1.2) the code would
look something like this:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
function checkAlpha(alphaField) {
if( alphaField.value.match(/[^A-Za-z]/g) != null ) {
alert('The ' + alphaField.name +
' may contain alphabetic chartacters only!');
return false;
}else{
alert('The ' + alphaField.name + ' passes!');
return true;
}
}
</script>
<form name="myForm" onSubmit="alert('The Form is being Submitted!')">
<input type="text" name="Password" value="Enter Password" size="20" >
<input type="submit" name="SubmitPW" value="Submit"
onClick="return checkAlpha(document.myForm.Password);">
</form>
