<textarea rows="5" cols="40" onkeyup="javascript: try{if(this.value.match(/\,/)){alert('This (,) character is not allowed on this field'); this.value='';}else if(this.value.length>=10){window.location.reload();}}catch(e){/* This is just a demo! */};"></textarea>you forgot to add javascript after onkeyup for what you are trying to do there is execute a javascript function!
Lol! I didnt see that one... And it should've been a textbox not a textArea... Thanks anyway and good day to you, sid...

and if any field fails validation
you send the form back for correction/resubmit
