This works perfectly on my other two pages with the exact same code. So why is it only this one page that is causing a problem? If I enter the word "test" in my form, without the quotes, then why is the fuction returning anything since this is a valid entry. Should it not only return a value if there is a problem. All I want to accomplish here is to allow the user to enter a to z, A to Z, and /\'-_. and a space. Is there a better way to do this?
