It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 57595
interpreted = N
texte = This works for me: if (document[frm].first_name.value == "") { alert("Please enter your first name"); document[frm].first_name.focus(); return (false); } However it's your enctype I'm sure. Are you doing a file upload with this form? I had all kinds of problems getting anything to work on a multipart/form-data so I went to two forms, info which is sent/appended and then a select file page. Not a great answer any of this, so hopefully someone has a better one.
