how do i require a field in frontpage

[Rogier]

I have made a webpage where visitors can order some products. But they must
fill in there name. I want if they don't type there name in , that the can't
order the products. Is someone who can help me with this problem? Is this
possible in Frontpage?

Right click on the form field, choose field properties, and set
validation requirements from the properties dialogue.
Note that the name of the form will be changed to Fronpage_form1 (or
similar) if the form name is important.

In addition to what ron said, don't forget to add a minimum length to the
field greater than zero. A lot of people forget about this and set a field
to be validated, but forget to add any minimum length condition so an empty
field can still slip by. If you set a minimum, keep in mind that a space
will still count towards that minimum so a user could simply hit the
spacebar a bunch of times.

Ron, will this work if the server doesn't support FP server extensions?

Yes. The check is in the browser, not on the server. It will fail if
the browser has disabled JavaScript.
