hi babs,
you could also use 'innerHTML', but it will not work in 'not-so-dhtml'
browser like netscape 4.7.x :-(
e.g.:
create a function to display the error message and call the function on your
validation script.
<script language="Javascript">
function displayError(theMessage) {
document.getElementById('error').innerHTML = theMessage;
}
function validateForm (theForm) {
var error = false;
if (theForm.username.value == "") error = true;
if (error ) {
displayError ('put your name please');
return false;
}
else return true;
}
</script>
put id on <td> or <div> in your jsp page where you want to display it.
e.g.:
<tr><td id="error"> </td></tr>
and......put onsubmit="return validateForm(this);" on your <form> tag.
hope it'll help
