You're right. Dummy me. I inherited a site that works like this and when I
needed to validate another field, I just parked it with the others. Not the

Why would you put it in the action page. You are requiring an extra trip to
the server if you do that. If you put your validation in the calling page
and trigger it with the onclick event of the submit button you save that
trip.
