Required form input

[Freeman]

I would like to have the input fields required for a form. Whats is the correct scripting?

[Twey]

In which language?
Server-side is preferable. Client-side is possible. It's not possible, however, in HTML, the forum in which you've posted.

I would like it to be in html in the form itself. Possible or do I need to use client-sede or server side? Thanks JF

[...] do I need to use client-sede or server side?You'll need to do it server-side, as only that can guarantee enforcement. However, you could perform an additional check client-side, so that the user doesn't need to wait for a full round-trip before discovering their mistake (that's all client-side validation is for).

How might I be able to do that? I am assuming that it takes scripting, which I do not know, to make it work. JF

It requires you to have a server-side language installed on your server. Do you?

[Freeman]

I have no idea. Does it need to be on the server that hosts my sites or does it need to be on my server? i also need to have the date auto format for the correct day. Thanks alot, JF

[Twey]

It must be on the server that's hosting the site.

[Freeman]

what about the auto format of the date text box. Right now it is set to shoe mm//dd//yyyy But I would like it to do that automatically,Thanks for the help, JF

You may as well do it server-side along with the validation. Besides, what most sites do is to have a series of text boxes for inputting dates.
