Compare entered text field value with database

[ptichka]

Hello everybody,

I am kind of new to javascript, so if anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

I have a text field, where a user would enter a username, and when the user clicks on "check if available", if that username is already in the data base, I need to give an alert with a message to think of another value.

Are you using ASP at all? Tony

Client side scripting does not have access to anything done server side and vice versa unless you perform a <form> submission. You'd have to have some kind of server side script, like PHP, ASP, or CGI, to process the name and check it against the database before responding.
