Hiya Gary
There's no such thing as a general "required" tag in forms. Two
possibilities spring to mind: Use a javascript snippet that checks for the
required fields to be filled in before calling the cgi, or, as I often do,
have the CGI script recognize required fields somehow. My own mailer script
does this with every field whose name starts with a # sign, i.e.
name="#Phone Number" -> those fields will produce an error message if not
filled in, and for your convencience the # is stripped in the mailed
message.
You can find an example of the script at http://plug.net/crypt ...
