I'm not sure how to force FrontPage to generate JavaScript code to validate my form fields...it does generate FrontPage Extension
(special codes) but not js...how can i get javascript instead?

Or...anyone knows a nice visual tool that help me write/generate javascript form fields generation code?

(i got like more than 20 fields to generate differently!)


oh well,...

FrontPage is the work of the Devil! Would probably be easier to write the code by hand, than trying to make FrontPage generate good code.

I couldnt agree more with Veneficuz. If you dont know much JS, learn it its not hard, especially to do something simple like that.

no i know JS very well...but i'm just lazy to write if/else/alert/element.focus() 25 times!

i could use FP to generate that code and take that code and paste it in my dreamweaver project and resume my work..

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

I just wrote a little form validator script. It checks just as many form fields as you want.
And it is simple to make it check form fields which aren't called 'text1' and so on. just put the form-field-names in an array like this:
var formnames= new Array("Name","City","Shoesize"...)

and check it like this:

if (eval('document.theform.text'+formnames(i)+'.value')=="")
...
eval('document.theform.text'+formnames(i)+'.style.backgroundColor="white"')

here it is: http://hem.bredband.net/briemi/javascript/formcheck.htm

Ini, I've already written something similar !
but sometimes I am even lazy to use it/modify it to fit my new needs!

anyway, here it is:

code:
$_= '

      <td align="right" width="242">Name</td>

      <td width="407">

        <input type="text" name="f_name">

      </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td align="right" width="242">Characteristics:</td>

      <td width="407">

        <ul>

          <li>Age

            <input type="text" name="f_age">
