Publisher 2003 Website registration page mandatory entries

A

alsaffiliates

When setting up a registration page on a website using Publisher 2003, can I
make a requested entry (such as phone number) mandatory so that an individual
cannot submit a registration without filling in that area? If so, how do I
accomplish this?

You can do basic validation with FP's forms. That being said...the
filler-outter could put anything in the textbox.

Caveat:
1- Of course you must have FrontPage :)
2- Your host server must have FrontPage Extensions installed & working.
3- Your host server must allow FP's form handler (some don't even if you
have FPSE)
4- You must publish to the server via the http:// method NOT FTP.

Check with your host you have now and see what kind of forms they do
support...and it's likely they already have free scripts (or you can google
for one) that will work.

OK, one LAST question. If I upgraded to Publisher 2007, would IT allow me to
make required web entries such as a phone number on a registration form
before allowing the user to submit their registration? If not, any
recommendations of a good program that will allow this? Thanks!

It's same as 2003 in that respect..so no, no validation (at least that I can
see).

You're jumping 3 steps ahead though...check what your host supports first,
then go shopping for a script or see what your host offers.

Check out Serif's WebPlus. They just released a new version that among
other things includes validation for form fields (and you can add a
CAPTCHA to it to keep bots from spamming you).
