[FX.php List] Browser problem

[Bob Patin]

Florence,

Why not validate in PHP?

It's easy to check all form submissions, and then bounce someone back  
to the original page. You can use a bit of Javascript to bounce them  
back, assuming this will work on all browsers (seems to work great in  
IE, Safari, and Firefox); here's how I do it:

if (empty($NAME) or empty($ADDRESS) or empty($CITY)... and so on...

{
?>
<script language="Javascript">
alert ("Please fill in all fields for billing and shipping.")
history.back()
</script>
<?php
}else{

... goes on to the rest of the script.
