I'm building a simple file management application using Classic ASP VBScript that has a
form to input page content, and file name.
After the form is submitted, the application will check to see if a page with that file
name already exists - if the file name already exists the user is quickly notified and
asked to provide a different file name for that page.
What I would like to do is, when the user submits the form, if the file name already
exists, stay on the form page (instead of changing to another page) and just have some
red letters next to the file name say "file name already in use".
Can anyone tell me how to do this???
Thanks,
Bill.

Bob, thanks! I believe I can use this, but first, let me understand, your code assumes
that the form submits to itself, right? So, the page refreshes after submission?

Correct. Leaving the action attribute empty causes it to submit to itself

Yes, that's the way to do it without using something like AJAX. It's simple
to code, and all work is done server side.

Better because it gives the user other visual clues - you would want to
use Strong because it should give an audible indication to a speaking
browser:
<% if len(FileName)0 then
if CheckForFile(Fi leName) then
message="File name already used"
required = "text1"
end if
end if
if message <"" then
message = "<div class='message' ><strong>" & message & "</strong>
</div>"
"<script type='text/javascript'>ale rt " & message & ";</script>"
end if
%>
<style type="text/css">
..message {color:red; background-color:transpare nt; font-weight:bold;}
<% if required <"" then%>
#<%=required%> 1 {background-color:yellow; color:#000}
#<%=required%{b ackground-color:pink; color:#000}
<% end if%>
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="">

Ah, your comment led me to find XMLHttpRequest!

Problem: I try to store data in a objects field and read it out again.
Sounds easy, yeah. But its a bit tricky here.... ;-)
This is the class Customer.php with some setter and getter functions to
store customers data within an object.
It works.
Furthermore, it includes a synchronize method, which calls the
individual setXXX function and takes the data
from the $_POST or $_GET var.
