I've poked around on his site and tried to search for the article and came up empty handed.

Meaning that if a person can fix the code himself or herself and actually willing to do it WHEN necessary - it can be an exception. My main point was - evaluate your option and choose what you are willing to do - spend time running business or supporting script that runs your business :-) Ravi did have an excellent point that actually fit exactly into the model I personally recommended. function sbmgOptinValidateForm485(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm485' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm485' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

Bina,
