Morning, and greeting to all~
I'm building a registeration form for a forum

i got 3 input : User Name, password, and email

In this case i use ajax to do the duplicate validation check
once the registering user entered a name or email that has been took by other ppl
it will run the validation and show some message like "valid username" "duplicate username"

but i got a problem which is i dono how to disable the "Register" button while the validation showing "Duplicate username" and user ignore the message.

here my code (if you need it): php [form]

<?php 
include 'dbconn.php'; 
include 'Header.php';
if(isset($_COOKIE['Author']))
{
	echo "<div id='Display'>";
	echo "You already have an account!</div>";
}
else
{
echo "<form name='frmRegisteration' action='Register.php' method='post' onSubmit='return DataValidator()'>";
	$name = $_POST['txtname'];
	$password = $_POST['txtpasswd'];
	$email = $_POST['txtemail'];
	if(isset($name,$password,$email))
	{
		$qry_insertauthor = "INSERT INTO author (user_name,passwd,email) VALUES ('".$name."','".$password."','".$email."')";
		$arr_insertauthor = mysql_query($qry_insertauthor);
	}else{ 
		echo "<div id='Display'>";
		echo "<em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</em>Please fullfill all the information required below : </div>";
	}
echo "<div id='Register' style='margin-top:10px;'><table width='100%'>
	<tr><td width='15%'><em>Name     :</em><br /></td><td><input name='txtname' id='regName' size='25' onKeyUp='UserValidate(this.value)' onBlur='Disablebutton(document.getElementById('txterror').value)'/>
	<label id='txterror'>* Please Enter your name here</label></td></tr>
	<tr><td><em>Password :</em><br /></td><td><input type='password' name='txtpasswd' id='regPasswd' size='25' maxlength='15' /></td></tr>
	<tr><td><em>E-mail    :</em><br /></td><td><input name='txtemail' id='regEmail' size='25' onKeyUp='emailValidate(this.value)' />
	<label id='txterror2' on>* Please Enter your email here</label></td></tr></table>
	<em>&nbsp;</em><input type='submit' name='btnRegister' id='regbtnRegister' value='Register'/></form>
	</div><input type='hidden' id='Receiver'>";
}
include'Footer.php'; 
?>

Java

function UserValidate(name)
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }

  {// code for IE6, IE5

Ajax
