Hi,

I am trying to create a function inside a web page that allows a user to input their postcode and provided the postcode begins with "G", an alert message would appear saying "We do deliver to your area" otherwise the message would read "Unfortunately at the moment we are unable to deliver in your area". This is what i've done so far, but i'm a bit lost..........

<table><tr><td><div style="position:relative; left:20px"><br />
    Postcode:&nbsp;&nbsp; <input name="postcode" type="text" maxlength="12" id="postcodeid" class="Workflow" style="width:90px;" /><INPUT type="text" style="VISIBILITY: hidden;POSITION: absolute"><input type="button" name=""b1" value="Enter";
<script type="text/javascript"><script><--!                
                                      
                                      if ("postcode" == "G*") {
                                                    alert ("We do deliver to you area")
                                     }
                                     else {
                                                    alert("Unfortunately we are unable to deliver to you area at the moment")
                                     }
--></script> </div> </td></tr></table>

Any help to point out where i'm going wrong would be greatly appreciated

since when do postcodes have letters?
All the postcodes I've seen have been 5-digit numbers; sometimes 4 extra digits at the end if its a business post.
like 12345-1234 or just 12345

UK ones have letters
I.e TR7 2TD

stands for something...first two letters, the city/town/sorting depot the mail goes too, in this case "truro"

the other stuff i don't really know, never bothered to research it although i might now.
