[thelist] Need help, random connection problems, no pattern

[Ben Dyer]

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>
