Validating Html form

[Student1000]

Hi, i just want to know do u validate a form.

Ok, i just want to make sure that the user doesnt skip a textbox(fname), don't enter text in lets say 'zipCode' textbox. I am not trying to validate data against xlm file(am not onthat level yet!).

<p>
            First Name&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; 
            <input id="firstName" style="WIDTH: 233px; HEIGHT: 23px" type="text" size="31" name="firstName" />  </p>
 
<input style="WIDTH: 92px; HEIGHT: 22px" type="text" size="12" name="zip" />

Unfortunately there is not way to do this with HTML itself. What you are going to have to do is verify, using whatever script this form is being submitted to, that each required field is not null. You can do this with Perl, PHP, etc.
