I am trying to use an xml page to verify the existance of the variable I supply from a querystring. Basically: The xml from another site is in the form http://www.coolsite.com/nicks/nickname-exists.asp?nick="variable" When you place a valid "nickname" in the url it returns xml with true or false statements i.e http://www.coolsite.com/nicks/nickname-exists.asp?nick=NickName returns this xml: <nick> <info> <version>1.0</version> </info> <nickname>True</nickname> </nick> and an invalid "nickname" in the url i.e: http://www.coolsite.com/nicks/nickname-exists.asp?nick=NikNae returns this xml <nick> <info> <version>1.0</version> </info> <nickname>False</nickname> </nick> I have an Access Database set up with a form so that a user can submit a nickname. How can I utilize this in my form to validate a nickname before it is submitted to my database??? I just need some ideas of ways to implement this. Is javascript my best bet or would something else be better? I need to learn how to code this for myself (I'll never learn otherwise), but I need an outline on how I could do it.
