When someone clicks the submit button I want my required fields to be displayed if they did not fill in the information. I have tried a lot of things but cannot get this to work. I am new (as if you didn't know). Please help...this is annoying. And do I have to do it in java or can I stick with HTML? Anyway I need to know where to place this also. I read you can only have one line of script for the onClick.

Use server side script to verify data integrity.
Use client side script to make your form user friendly. On the client side use form onsubmit event to go over the form fields before submission.

The form is going through a mailserver so they are the server side. How would be the best way for me to do client side? Do you have an example?

if it is going to a mail server then you are using a server side technology to handle the form. Why not do the scripting with that.

I appreciate your response. I will use it as server side if i new what code to send to the server. Here is what I am doing. I want the block with * next to them to be flagged if they are not filled out at all or correctly. The blocks without * I would like them to be flagged also but as a reminder that they weren't fill out.
