How can I make form fields required?

If you wish to make a form field, such as the Name, or Email Address required you can do one of the following things:

1. Use a Java Validator on your form page.

There are examples of a Java Validator all over the internet. This type of form will let you know via a Java script if you have not submitted all required information. A form backed with a Java Validator will continue to query the user for required content until the form is completed. The only bad part about this is that if a user has their Java off, the form will submit without requiring any information to be submitted.


2. Use FormMail.pl, rather than fmail.pl

FormMail, developed by Matt Wright is a script that will allow you to require any field that you want. Documentation on FormMail is located at http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/formmail.shtml
