What was the error?
If the error was a 404 error page, then the mistake was mine. I should
have explained that the forms action attribute was pointed to the same
page (email-check.htm) and the when submitted the page email-check.htm
would be loaded. Obviously in your site the page does not exist.
You can add as many more fields to the form as you wish.
To make the form work as a "real" form, right click anywhere in the form
and choose Form Properties. From here you can choose where the data is
to be stored or emailed, choose a confirmation page (or use the
FrontPage default), or if your server does not have FrontPage extensions
choose your own form handler to process the information.
Do not use the FrontPage validation feature - that will prevent the
email checking from functioning.
I have updated the script (to give a warning about invalid email format)
and added the above notes to the page at

Thnaks my question is now where do I insert the Java Script into the HTMl in
the code view? before it? after it? or before or after the onchange command?
Do this makes sense?
