Ah, thank you for the clarification; yes, I see what you're doing and never thought of having the validation in the same file with it bypassed the first time. Interesting...and much better than what I'm doing (validating with a second file). Oh, sorry...you were the one that was asking for comments and I turned the tables and made you answer. :-) Thanks a lot -- for minor checks, you might want to reduce the load on the server by doing client-side checking with Javascript. It seems to work with me and, of course, depends on the trade-off between the cost of doing many submissions versus sending the source to the Javascript first. Of course, client-side will pop up a box with the error...but it won't highlight the error in red since you need to re-write the HTML file. Thanks for the explanation!
