function validate()
{
searchString = document.subscribe.Email.value;
result = searchString.search("@");
if (result == -1) {
alert("You must enter a valid email address. Please try again.");
document.subscribe.Email.focus();
return false;

</SCRIPT>

<FORM NAME="subscribe" onSubmit="return validate();"
ACTION="http://dev.myloadspring.com/chris' test/process_new_subscriber.asp" METHOD="POST">
<IMG SRC="images/subscribe.gif">

Wouldn't it just be easier to use an existing script? Check out the following:
