Forms:html code for 'required fields' - 10/19/2003 22:52:28
Background to problem:I thought I was successful in making a field on an online intranet form a 'required field' - that is, when someone completed the form I created, there were some fields that were mandatory.
Method I used:
1. Right clicked on the input field
2. Selected Form Field Validation
3. For Data Length, ticked 'required'
The html code that resulted was:
<!--webbot bot="Validation"
B-Value-Required="TRUE" --><input type="text" name="firstname" size="40">
Problem that resulted:
When the new form with 'required fields' was uploaded into the company's Web Content Management system (Merant Collage), then the form could not be successfully submitted by a user any more.
Questions:
1. Do you think that the html code above should work? (Perhaps the problem is with the way Collage handles this code).
2. Do you know of alternative code that I could try to create required fields (eg javascript)?
Many thanks for considering this problem!
Regards, spinningjennie
