Visitor Information validation

G

Guest

I need to force the visitor who wants a free download to input some
information first on my visitor page. I would like to prevent the visitor
from visiting the demo download page unless certain information has been
entered. As is is now you can push the submit button anytime you like and go
to the demo download page.
How can I accomplish this in frontpage 2003

Apply form field validation. However the best approach is to write a custom server-side scripting
(ASP, ASP.Net, PHP) where the user enter their email address, and the form then send then them a
link to click on that validate that they have received the email and then direct them to the
download.

Can you give me more information on how to write this script - just as you
described (user enters email address, form sends them a link to click on that
validates their email address, then they are directed to a new page?

Thanks!

Depends on your host OS & what DB and server side scripts they support
If Windows supporting Access and ASP see
