   6.         return (false);
   7.     }
   8.     chkId = /^[WAP_]{4}\d{2}$/;
   9.     if (chkId.test(document.frm.id.value)) {
  10.     } else {

  47.         url = url + "?id=" + id;
  48.         xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = stateChanged;

  56.             parseMsg();
  57.         } else {
  58.             alert("Unable to retrieve");
  59.         }
  60.     }

  66.     var id = document.getElementById("id").value;
  67.     response = xmlHttp.responseXML.documentElement;
  68.     var node = response.getElementsByTagName("PACK_NAME");
  69.     for ( var i = 0; i < node.length; i++) {
  70.         var node1 = node.item(i);
  71.         var childNodes = node1.childNodes;
  72.         for ( var j = 0; j < childNodes.length; j++) {
  73.             var childNode = childNodes.item(j);
  74.             if (childNode.nodeType == Node.TEXT_NODE) {
  75.                 //alert(childNode.nodeValue);
  76.                 if ( childNode.nodeValue == id) {
  77.                     alert("Pack Already Exists");
  78.                     return true;
  79.                 }
  80.             }
  81.         }

  83.     document.frm.submit();
  84. }

Thanks..

What is the element with id='id'?
Exactly what characters does it contain?
Is id='id' unique within the document?
Exactly what characters are in the childNode.nodeValue that you think should match the id?

Note: using the same value for a variable name and for an id (the string 'id' in this case) can cause problems in IE. And from a human standpoint, using variable names that look like reserved words [childNodes,childNode] - even where it works - does not make your code any easier to follow.

hi,
The id takes the 'String value' what i'll enter in the txt field...

I await with interest your answers to my four questions.
