To pop open the alert box I am assuming you call a javascript function.
<INPUT Type="Submit" Name="Submit" Value="Create Workorder" onclick="return VerifyForm(this.form)">
Usually you would do onclick="VerifyForm(this.form)"
but by changing it to: onclick="return VerifyForm(this.form)"
You tell javascript to go to the page only if you return true.
function VerifyForm(form) {
if (Values == true) {
return true;
} else {
alert();
return false;
}
}With any browser 5.0 or older this will work.
Now, with PHP you need to pass the information back to the form either through a URL or in session variables.
I hope this helps some,

Micro,
Are you doing your error checking with Javascript or PHP. Makes a big difference.
