Kym, Don't forget ".museum" which is six characters (Michael pointed this out at a recent conference)

TLDs are more complex than they used to be now with the new stuff so before you could just check that there was a 2 char TLD, ".au" for us for example, and 3 chars for the fixed set that you used mainly. Now you are moving to ".us" and the TLDs include 4 char names such as .name My feeling is a simple validation of "is it 2, 3 or 4 chars" would serve as a basic check and you could test for the specific 3 and 4 char ones if you wish as they are all specifically defined. -- Yours, Kym ==^======================================================= This list server is Powered by iMS "The Swiss Army Knife of Mail Servers" -------------------------------------- To leave this list please complete the form at http://www.coolfusion.com/iMSSupport.cfm Need an iMS Developer license?
