Well that makes sense...

>         function validForm(theForm)
>           file://this gets ticked if the user doesn't have an email
address
>           if ((!theForm.noemailaddress.checked) && (theForm.email1.value
== ""))
>           {
>             alert("Please enter your email address or check the NO email
box");
>             theForm.email1.focus();
>             return (false);
>           }
>
>           return (true);

Once javascript comes across a return statement, it returns and nothing else
is executed. So, if I have:

function foo(bar)
{
    return true;
    alert("hiya, kristina.");
}

You shouldn't get an alert.

May I suggest you store the true/false in a variable rather then using a
return statement?



hth,
