I am sorry, but I misread your requirements :o :o :o
To make amends here is the [u]two word[/u] instead of [u]two letter[/u] version ?

Tricky form question need help
Hi
I have been bang my head on my desk trying to work out how to do this.
By the way not sure if i’ve posted my problem in the right place but here goes.
What i want to do is this
I have a form with 2 textfields
1 is called event the other description.
In the event textfield i want to make sure a user enters at least 2 words, if they enter 1 word or none then i want a message to come up telling them to enter 2 words.
Can anyone help
Thanks
Tony
