[thelist] help with form validation using ASP/VBScript

[Pringle, Ron]

Hi all-

Another ASP/VBScript question.

I have a database of events with multiple tables. I've created a form to
enter new events into the db, no problem.

However, upon submission of the form, I would like to first validate the
data. I would like to do this within the page the user is on.

So, upon clicking the submit button, required fields, etc. should be
checked, and if not valid, focus should return to that field. If all the
form fields are valid, then the record record should be entered into the db.

I wrote a function to check the fields of the form, but I'm unsure of how to
call the function from the form itself and how to feed the form data to the
function.

I've googled but most of what I found for form validation is either ASP.NET
or requires me to send the user to a seperate validation page.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Ron
