Art,

I owe you one.  It worked perfectly.  I replaced all occurences of
document.temps. with document.forms[0]. and removed the name attribute of
the form and it still functions AND it validates.

Here is the URL: http://www.mortgageprepayment.com/mortgagecalculator.htm

This was the last remaining thing that did NOT validate.  The site is
integrated with PayPal's shopping cart service and automatically generates a
username and password to allow a single instance download of a purchased
file to the user upon succesful completion of a paypal purchase.  We just
redesigned the look of the site and I'm validating everything we design or
redesign now (haven't done this in the past).  Needless to say it is a true
learning experience for me, but I feel much better about the site when I
know that each page validates.

Thanks for the help.  Javascript is not my strong point.  I contribute
answers to the lists whenever I am able in many other areas like php, basic
design, databases, etc.  People like you make me proud to be part of this
type of organization/group (hope I don't sound too "mushy", just wanted to
say "thanks").

Thanks,
