I have a pop up window that searches a database. now i want the user to type in a min of three characters. i used this script but it passes the validation and dosent even validate
can someone help me?

<form method=&quot;post&quot; name=&quot;registerForm&quot; onsubmit=&quot;Nice()&quot;>
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function Nice(){
if (registerForm.Surname.length < 3)
{
alert(&quot;Enter more than three characters.&quot;);
document.registerForm.Surname.focus();
return;
}
}
</script>
 
Hi there,

<... onSubmit=return&quot;Nice(this);&quot;>

That should do it!

Hi Sorry, I had a typo in my previous post:

<... onSubmit=&quot;return Nice(this);&quot;>

(Had the quotation marks in the onSubmit in the wrong place.)

and don't forget to append a &quot;return false;&quot; at the end of your function.
