What script is that? Most scripts give you the option to make fields required. The best option is to go with javascript and php. If javascript isn't something you want PHP is also sufficient. But for what you want we need more than just that. All fields need to be checked against to make sure they aren't left blank.

its a php form for affiliates to sign up. the script orginally only allowed admins to add accounts but i turned it to a page where affiliates can register. But the form submits even if none of the feilds are filled in. trust me i tested it. im not really sure what else you mean.
