Client Side Validation

Asked by DarrenD in JavaScript

Hi,

What I am trying to do is display a message on screen without using the Alert() or the innertext property as this is not supported by Netscape.

Situation:
I have a page with a Submit button and text box on it.

When the user presses submit and the text box is empty.
I want a message to appear telling the user the text box is empty but without using server side scripting.

I have done this using the innertext property of a <Div> element and it works fine in IE.

But my problem is that this will not work in NS Is there any alternative way of doing this which will work for both IE and NS.

thanks

Darren
