Required form fields not working!?

Hi;

I am using FP2003, and the required fields are not working or being
validated. Also, if I look at the html the following is showing up as light
grey. I am not sure if that means I am missing some component to allow
validation or use of required fields. The host provider has FP extensions,
with dotnet 2.0.

Code (is in light grey):

<!--webbot bot="Validation" b-value-required="TRUE" i-minimum-length="12"
i-maximum-length="12" -->

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks;

Lorri

..net 2.0 is not relevant unless you are using .aspx pages - then you
don't use the FrontPage validation scripts.

With the FrontPage validation, the grey code is correct. You must
preview the page in a browser to see if the code is working. And you
must have JavaScript enabled in the browser. When you save the page,
the information in the grey code is used to create JavaScript that
performs the validation.
When using Preview in Browser, you can see the JavaScript by using View
Source in the browser, just before the <form> tag.
For more assistance a link to the published page will be required so we
can see what is in the page.

I am thinking of just switching to Expression Web, since Godaddy keeps
blaming things on FP2003 since it is no longer supported.

Would I have to re-do the website and/or remove FP extensions?

Thanks;

The page has 3 opening <form tags but only 2 closing tags.

<form name="agreeform" onSubmit="return defaultagree(this)"> appears to
be superfluous.

The validation script has been produced, but the failure may be because
the extra <form> tag is present.

I fixed this,

What I did was create a new form with a single field and submit button then
copy and paste the old form into it.

Obvoiusly I screwed something up on the old form.

Thanks;
