Hello, I would really appreciate some help.
I’m using the following code to validate a form. If one of the fields is not filled in or correct, a .gif with a message is displayed under the field that needs to be corrected/filled in. The whole purpose of the code is to do away with the alert box. But I want both an alert box to be displayed and still have the code display the .gif under the field.
How can I implement this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Here is the code Ive been using
