try inserting a real link ...to "test," that is!

Assuming also that the remainder of the array is properly completed, so the script can "run," right?

Hi Vasili, not quite sure what you mean (a real link)? If i remove this part.......
<a href="http://www.collectors-info.com" target="_top">testing for a url link</a>
The script works fine. I made sure the link was ok & this works fine. But they don't like being together. Wasn't sure if links were entered in a different way when using JavaScript?

The part between the " " is for text only. msg[22]="Tip 23" plus putting // in there cancels the rest out so anything after the // is not reconized. the // is offten used by the script writer to explian denote something. mainly in php. therefore you will always get the error messages in ie anyway like object ","
this how the // is used in php .

PHP Code:

// check there's a form ID included
else if (empty($_POST['form_tools_form_id']))
  ft_output_message("no_form_id");
