Required form fields

[Sonars_UK]

Hi,

Re: FP2002

I'm including a form on a clients website and it is essential that the
website visitor completes certain fields. Is it possible for FP not to
accept the form and let the visitor know that they must complete the
required fields?

Thanks in advance,

Yes.
With the page open in FrontPage, right click a form field, select Form Field Properties and in the
applet that opens click Validate and then enter the parameter you want the field validated against.

Yes, In your form, right click the field(s) you want to validate, then click
"Properties", then "Validate" button.

Choose from the options presented. An alert box will pop up at the time the user
clicks submit button saying data is not valid eg a field wasn't filled in etc.

However I know some form processors go to a separate page with a error message
like

"Form could not be sent due to : field [name] empty - please enter a value" and
similar, listing any and all errors, then requesting the user go back and fix it
and resubmit the form. FP can't do it that way, only by the alert box.
