Re: form validator issue
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2005
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 61508
interpreted = N
texte = duh... I figured a good nights sleep would help. I initially messed up by deleting a small line that was always in my other snippets, causing all this to fail miserably over and over again. Slowly re-assembled this form and all is well. No empty fields can pass, although I just realized "just spaces" do. Photo uploads are fine if one is indicated. How would I check for just "spaces" in a field.... or am i being too paranoid. I only require 2 fields as mandatory, the "Title" and the "Text". Thanks to all for trying to help on this. --- Terry Wilson
