Form field validation

2
I am trying to write a javascript script that will test a frontpage form field to see if it is empty. if it is then pop up a window and say " this field is empty" and if it has anything else instead of letters a pop up window will say " Letters only please" otherwise it will put the user input into the field. Could someone show the code?

Post the code you have so far.

What do you mean by "otherwise it will the user input into the field"?
