[showif [param1]=name]You forgot to enter your name.[/showif] [showif [param1]=age]You forgot to enter your age.[/showif] Please use your browser's Back button and complete the form.
The first empty field was enough for me; if you want to list all the missing information, I sure you could come up with a loop that checks param1, param2, param3, etc. Good luck,Brian:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: : Brian.Drum :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: mailto:bdrum@aecsoft.com : : Web.Designer :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: http://www.aecsoft.com : : AEC.Software;.Inc.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::: tel:703.450.1980 :::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
