Required fields

[dubgirl]

I want to have required fields on my form..and am currently using the following code:

<INPUT name=required type=hidden value="realname, email, Telephone_number, inmonth, inday, inyear, Number_of_nights_required, Number_of_guests">

<INPUT name=missing_fields_redirect type=hidden value="http://www.example.net/error.html">

My submit button is of type "button" rather than submit (which as far as i know is right) but for some reason, its not working!
Any clues why this simple procedure might not work?

PS I've tried the Javascript method too with no success - Perhaps its just me :(

I think that either JavaScript (or a server side solution) is your best bet.

Have a look at JavaScript JumpStart #1 - form validation [webmasterworld.com], which should point you in the right direction.

I think a JavaScript and server side solution is best ;)
