Quick thanks to everyone who helped out, I was just barking up the wrong
tree. You were correct, the registry was clogged. Fortunately, our hoster
(Interland *shudder*) finally did something right and fixed it quickly.
And now, a tip:
<tip>
If you are using JavaScript validation (in tandem with server-side
validation, right? :), it is a good thing to add a way to immediately jump
back to the offending form field for the user's convenience.
Use this little code snippet to focus on the form:
if (!document.forms[0].first_name.value) {
alert("Please enter your first name.");
form.first_name.focus();
return false;
}
(You are using document.forms[0] instead of document.name_of_form right? :)
This will jump the user straight back to the form field where there's a
problem.
</tip>
