How to clear alert message in sendmail ajax form

[gig]

hi,
I used Bryan Helmig's sendmail php+ajax form.
But after the user presses submit without filling a required field,
he cannot clear the alert message.
I would expect it to clear after clicking somewhere or escape, but it remains even after closing and opening the contact form again.
How can I fix this?

thanks a lot!

Sounds like a JavaScript issue. In any event there isn't much we can do if you don't post some code or a link to a page where we can reproduce the error.

How is the alert message being created - is it a lightbox script - if so which one - or is it simply the JavaScript debugging command - alert() - if the latter then if you run the code in Opera there will be an extra checkbox in the alert to allow you to turn off JavaScript for that web page. Other browsers will display a checkbox to kill all further alerts from the page when the second alert displays.

I added this in my document javascript:

$('#contactForm input,#contactForm textarea').click(function() {
$('.message').hide();
});
