You are right about what needs to happen. Any JS checking must also be cross-checked on the server-side, because the user might have JS turned off. If you didn't have the cross-checking, then your user will get incorrect results. They can use JS for immediately telling a user if the field(s) have been incorrectly filled out. They can use ONBLUR, or ONCLICK, things like that. But again, it has to be done on the server as well. When my project relaunches, I'll let everyone know, because it's the most WCAG-compliant site I've built, and I'd like to get feedback. Randal
