I was wandering if there was a way for a form not to submit if a different name was inputted. Eg: If a person puts in an incorrect username and they click submit an alert box will appear and will say not a username but for many usernames

If you're only checking for a user name then you would do well to use an Object literal as an associative array of Booleans:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"

<style type="text/css">
<!--
input {display:block}
-->
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
users = {fee:true, fie:true, foe:true, fum:true}
// -->
</script>
<form action="nextPage.html" onsubmit="if (!users[this.elements[0].value]) {alert('I don\'t believe that I\'ve had the pleasure of an introduction.'); return false}">
<div>
<label>User Name<input type="text"></label>
<input type="submit">
</div>
</form>

cheers. But i have signed up for a bravenet email form and i was wandering if there was any way to get the part of the script where it says

window.location.href = "URL"

to get it to use the action in the forms tag etc.

Yes, like this:

window.location.href = document.formname.action;

Or, just use my example.
