Howard:
I spoke too soon -- take a look at this:
http://webbytedd.com/ccc/test-onsubmit1/index.php
Please note that while not entering the data required in each text
box will generate an alert, it will not stop the submit.
I provided a demo here:
http://webbytedd.com/ccc/test-onsubmit/index.php
The proper operation is to prohibit a submit until both text boxes have data.
So, how do you do that while remaining unobtrusive?
Cheers,
tedd
