How do I make certain fields required on my capture page?

[don2]

I want some of my fields on my capture page to be required. Is there a way that I can manipulate the HTML code in order to do that?

I added your code in Front Page and used Front Page to make the fields I wanted required. Hopefully, that fixed the problem.

I gather you did this with JavaScript.  Until the next release (changes), custom fields can only be made 'required' with JavaScript.

I don't know anything about javascript except the script for making a pot of java to start my day.  :lol:

When you make changes to the next version please make it to where the
IP address and the opt-in time can be exported.

Were you able to make your fields required with FrontPage?  I think the only way would be with JavaScript, but then again I don't use FrontPage - maybe they have some ActiveX controls or otherwise.

I can provide some simple code... such as adding this JavaScript "onsubmit" function to your form definition:

Code: [Select]

<form name="myfrm" method="post" action="http://example.com/listmail/signup.php" onsubmit="if(!myfrm.email.value){ alert('You must enter your email address!'); return false; } if(!myfrm.fname.value){ alert('You must enter your first name!'); return false; }">

When you make changes to the next version please make it to where the
IP address and the opt-in time can be exported.

Thanks for the suggestion - yes the export process is due for an overhaul (I envision it with 'User Selection' rules and additional output options including all fields)

Thanks for your help!
