The form validation just checks the username field validator, which is temporarily changed to IS_NOT_EMPTY, so it is only checking that a username was submitted. In any case, even the regular username field validator wouldn't check that the submitted value matches what's in the database. The check for matching the submitted username with an existing db username happens after the form processing, so using onvalidation should work. Anthony
