Since you are talking about client side validation, Javascript is probably your best bet. Keep in mind that you should do validation on the server side as well, client side validation *alone* (at least for myself) isn't sufficient for a production app, and reduces the genericity of your code by coupling the interface and model. http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
