Form Field Validation

Hi,

I have several fields that needs to be validated. First of all on the drop
down menu, the first choice is -select-, how can i force validation so that
user selects something, and not leave it as -select-

And then want to do force validation for phone number.
I have tried usingt javascript, but it doesn't work...I am using Frontpage
2002, when i publish it on webserver, I find my javascript is overridden by
system or something...

Any ways around it?

Thank you

Disallow the first choice of "-Select-"

You can't easy validate phone number unless your site is US/CD based, i.e., (000) 123-2345 etc.

Hi Thomas,

I have tried that, but that doesn't work. If I choose "-Select", it lets me
submit....j

Then you have not set up the validation process correctly or you have change the form name from what
FP has named it, etc.

Hi Thomas,

It is working fine now. I connected the form to a new database, and it was
validation everything. Thank you so much for your help
