Validating a Form

Once you have your form completed, you should make sure that the fields in the form are validated. For example: if you have an email field, you want to make sure an email address was entered. There are many ways to validate a form using javascript. Dreamweaver makes it easy to validate a form.

1. Open your form in Dreamweaver
2. Select the field you want to validate. For example: you should validate email addresses.
3. Go to Window and make sure Behaviors is checked. Go to the Behaviors panel. Click on the + to add behaviors. Select Validate Form.
   
4. Your validate Form popup is displayed. Select the input "email" and select that it is required and it is an email address and OK.
   
5. Dreamweaver adds the following code that calls the javascript function and passes parameters:
   <input name="email" type="text" id="email" accesskey="e" onblur="MM_validateForm('email','','RisEmail');return document.MM_returnValue" size="30" maxlength="50" />
6. Make sure you test these changes.
7. If you are using Dreamweaver another option is to use Dreamweaver Spry.
   NOTE: You do not need to use any other validation with Spry because it will validate when you submit your form.
