That's the way to deal with it and thanks!
In my case the alert does serve a small purpose as it warns the user to get it right which isn't all bad.
The pop up position must be controlled by CSS...
div id="email_note" class="note-box" style=
If only I could find out where I could push it down and have the best of both worlds.
I'm hoping to hear from support a bit later on today so will share what I discover here.
If I don't hear from them I'll axe it by using your fix.
Cheers and thank you!
