Register Issues
I'm working on a registry system with PHP/XML, and I just honestly can't figure this out.
I have it when you submit the info you do checkUser which goes to the php side, should check if the username submitted is in the XML file and if the password is blank. And if it returns "Available" to do function sendInfoOut and if it returns anything else its supposed to bring up an alert box, but just nothing happens.
But so far it's unresponsive and I just can't find out the problem...
If I input Kyle Palmer for the username and password it should say "username already taken".

Re: Register Issues
Use Firefox or Safari's debugging consoles. You will see that you have an error in compiling the string in checkUser(). Then, don't forget to also check your PHP logs.
And...Don't ever pass username/password through GET!!! Always use POST!...major security risk!!!
