Verifying Form Fields?

1

Hello…I know nothing about PHP, ASP, CFM, etc. Is it necessary to use PHP, ASP, etc to verify form fields? Like a telephone number field can’t have letters, or if a field is left blank, there will be a pop up or warning when the user clicks submit.
Anybody know of a simple way for me to get this done?
Thanks!

If you use Dreamweaver, get the javascript form validation behavior extension by Yaromat. It’s far better than the one built into DW.

Be more precise in your questions, coz if this had been Flash-related, then it would’ve been very easy to do it all in Flash MX, Macromedia even included a validation library in DRK 3 which has all the usuall routines for email, zip, credit card etc…
Then, you could’ve given immediate feedback if a form field has changed and looses focus…
