First WWF looks great!

I'm trying to enforce that a real name is entered when registering.

In the language_file_inc.asp I have added:

Const strTxtErrorRealName = "Real Name \t- You must enter your name to register"

And in the Java Script in register.asp (above Check for security code) I have entered.

   'If this is new reg then make sure the user enters there name
   If strMode ="new" Then
   %>
    //Check for a name
           if (document.frmRegister.realName.value <=10){
                   errorMsg += "\n\t<% = strTxtErrorRealName %>";
           }<%

End If

However, when I publish the register.asp and try to register I get a blank page.

Is there something I have not done?

Thanks

OK realized what I did wrong......corrected code is

<%
'If this is new reg then make sure the user eneters a real name
If strMode ="new" Then
%>

        //Check for a real name
        if (document.frmRegister.realName.value == ""){
                &nbs p;     errorMsg += "\n\tYou must enter your real name.";
        }

<%
End If
%>

Found the error of my ways.

Correct code is:

'If this is new reg then make sure the user eneters a real name

If strMode ="new" Then

//Check for a real name

if (document.frmRegister.realName.value == ""){

errorMsg += "\n\tYou must enter your name";

}

End If

Just for reference, you can't force an open forum membership to submit their real name - you can just force them to enter something which, for example, could be 'get lost!'
