Can anyone take a look at this? Where on earth is it coming from? Each time I go in and delete it, it re-appears!

Any comments appreciated!

The javascript below repeats itself - I’m using the frontpage to require the quantity field - I can’t find the required input for the cart :q:

Oops! Sorry -

The following repeats itself over and over and shows up right on the page:

Hello Webworks,  
When you simply edit the page in FrontPage and Save does this error repeat itself again?

Thanks!

Yes! Absolutely - I’ve deleted this code a couple of times, and it comes back on it’s own. Do you know a way to avoid this?

I’ve since abandoned FP’s _validate_ code for other javascript, but would really like to figure out how or why it does this. I’m using FP 2000 4.0. I bet if I upgraded it might fix it… :sigh:

Hello Webworks,  
I am simply not sure why this is happening. I have had this happen to me on several occassions, but after editing the problem page in FrontPage, the error has not happened again.

Does this error happen only on that particular page? If so, have you tried removing a few FrontPage elements such as the form, include page componenet, etc. until you are able to pinpoint the FrontPage feature that is causing this problem?

Thanks!
