SPAM-LOW: RE: [thelist] help with form validation using ASP/VBScript

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

So it appears that I'm left with sending the form to a validation page? 

   Not at all.  If you want to validate on the server, you can use the same page and return the form with all the data if you find something that needs to be changed (really, server-side validation is good to have since the user could turn off client scripting).  If you want to validate client-side, is there a problem with using Javascript?

Brian-

Ahh, makes sense now. And thank you for pointing out that it won't work in
anything other than IE. Since our site has to be cross browser compatible, I
guess I can forget validating it that way.
