Html form validation

I want to know how to validate the text boxes on my form. I found this onthe internet but doesnt work for me!
What should i do?

Select the 'Send' button. Go to Window > Behaviors to active the Behaviors palette. Click on the plus [+] icon and select Validate Form.



Form Data

Now you should see all the fields in the form: Name, Email, Phone, Comments.

Select 'Name', check Required, Accept = Anything (anything means any key/character).
Select 'Email', check Required, Accept = Email address
Select 'Phone', check Required, Accept = Number
Select 'Comments', check Required, Accept = Anything
* if you do not want to make the field as required, uncheck Required

I am not sure what you found and where. However, you can validate your forms using either a client-side validation with JavaScript or a server-side with the language of choice ie: Perl, PHP etc... I use both.

Hope this Helps.

Normally I would say this is a javascript question but what you found is related to the Windows OS. In either case, the question doesn't belong here but I don't know where to put it.

this sounds like a javascript or a vb question cuz what form isn't known...

but it also sounds like a homework question, which is not allowed.
please read the Posting Guidelines in regards to homework questions.

thank you.
