Re: Dealing with forms!!!!!

Hi Paul

Thanks for your reply and the great comment about the validation. My main
issue is, the registration form is included in a light box and after
submission I dont like it to be redirected to another page in case of any
error especially of user turned off the javascript in the browser !

Thanks
Sherry
