Hi All.<br />
<br />
I have 2 questions about a form I am creating.<br />
<br />
1. How do I make sure that certain field are filled in, and if not then the form is not sent but takes the user make to missing fields?<br />
<br />
2. Is there any way of having the date appear automatically instead of the user having to fill it in?<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help,<br />
<br />

As far as making sure that certain fields are filled in, you're going to want to use a Form Validation Script. Check A1 Java Scripts... which is where I found the one I use. Really easy... copy/paste it into your page and add in a bit of text and its good to go!<br />
<br />
As for the second question... I'm totally clueless, though I have wondered the same thing.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps a bit.<!--content-->and for that "auto" date feature....<br />
