Submit to an email address [F8]

This is the code I have on my submit button for a email address to be sent for a newsletter subscription to a site the email bit is working but the messages are not poping up in the other field I have vard as EmailStatus i.e "Not valid E-mail address" & "e-mail recorded";


on (release)
{
if (newsletter.length < 7 || newsletter.indexOf(&quot;@&quot;) == -1 || newsletter.indexOf(".") == -1)
{
EmailStatus = "Not valid E-mail address";
} else
{
loadVariablesNum ("index.php", "0", "POST");
newsletter = "";
EmailStatus = "e-mail recorded";
}
}



any Ideas where im going wrong????
