you'll hafta validate them server-side, and populate the fields server-side
when you (re)render the page. This is a cornerstone job for software like CF
or ASP running on the server; if you don't have that option, you're looking
at a pile of guano.

You can validate with your CGI without CF or ASP, but you'd have to code and
send back the entire page from inside your CGI with the values populated
--and if you change the page source you also would have to tweak your CGI to
match. It can be done, but it aint too purty...
