 * I am looking for a way to validate entries in a comment.
 * For example, if a user doesn’t include any comments or doesn’t include an email
   address, wp_die is called (server side) and a standard error message is produced.
 * Now i know we can hack the functions.php file and redirect the user to a custom
   error message page but i was hoping to create a client side solution.
 * For example use some javascript – alert() fuction.
 * Does anyone know how to do this?
 * Thanks
