I agree with you that the OP has lost the plot here. (See my earlier
post) Now making it worse by some demands to DO AS I SAY. Umm.

(1) The OP should
(a) validate email properly not by relying on a re-type and
(b) _supply_ a password.

(2) But hold on a minute Jerry, if you were thinking of trusting the
site to go to the lengths of clicking on a submit button when filling in
one of the OP's forms why would switching on JS be such a big deal? [1]
My reason for bringing this up is that there are some people who rely on
technical fixes to keep them safe rather than the Mk I brain.

[1] Perhaps not everybody has the NoScript extension for Firefox which
gives cool control over this sort of thing. Surely there's nobody out
there who still uses IE?
