Ok, I changed the help.php as you send...but it still says that the email address I entered - which was jenwyndham@yahoo.com is still invaild. If I restore the contactus.tpl, that email address works fine. But if I modify the contactus.tpl file such that the "Title, First Name, Last Name, Email Adress, Subject, and Message" fields are the only ones there, I get a pop up screen saying "email address is unvalid". Here is the modified contactus.tpl I used

{* $Id: contactus.tpl,v 1.15 2002/09/12 10:25:45 verbic Exp $ *}

<script>
function checkEmailAddress(field) {
var goodEmail = field.value.match(/b(^(S+@).+((.com)|(.net)|(.edu)|(.mil)|(.gov)|(.org)|(..{2,2}))$)b/gi);
    
if (goodEmail) {
    return true;
} else {
        alert("E-mail address is invalid! Please correct");
        field.focus();
        field.select();
        return false;
    }
}
</script>

i made sure I only deleted the revelavnt stuff, and none of the email codes..perhaps I did something wrong?

Thanks
