@GeatFeb 18.2003 — Perhaps he's running an older version of IE than you? Or maybe he has Javascript disabled for some reason.

That's all I can think of...

@legolazauthorFeb 18.2003 — So is there a way to make it work for all browsers?

or at least Most versions of IE

@GeatFeb 18.2003 — Javascript HAS to be turned on, no doubt about that...

Have you tried

if (d == "") { alert("Don't leave commentsblank"); }

Instead?

Have you got a URL for the site?

The only way you could make it work in this case is to have the server validate the posted data, reload the form with a complaint written on it...

@legolazauthorFeb 18.2003 — Hey boromir,

i just checked wif my fren and shes using IE 6 and she has javascript enabled.

any ideas?
