Form Validation

[Ken Thacker]

I have created a message forum using FP, and it's working exactly as
intended....so my question is: how do I correctly validate the input
forms so that when the "submit" button is clicked with no information
in the fields, it will prompt the user to enter information? A stupid
question probably! I just want someone to have to "work" at least a
little bit before submitting a bogus message. Thanks very much!

I just figured it out! It's working....

Ken, I also place an image on the site that has a few letters such a pwukt,
ask them to enter the letters in form field and then test for that value.

Chuck - I've just started having problems with spam through the form on my
website and have tried using the graphic letter trick. How do you do it in a
separate box (as you have done on your form)? When I ask for the letters to
be typed in the actual form, it will only accept the letters and nothing more
- so it is not solving the problem. There doesn't seem to be a way to do
that through the "validation" textbox on FrontPage 2003. Please see

Thanks
