form validation javascript inside ASP ?

M

megabyte

Hello;

I have an ASP application which gathers information to put in a
database via some forms - I would like to do the form validation
(making sure some fields are not empty) with a Javascript script inside
the ASP file - what is the syntax for doing this? Usually I would place
the javascript inside the <head> tags, but ASP files don't have
those...

Thanks for any help.

Eric.

If you want the validation done on the client side you would include the
script in the html output (inside the <head> tags if you like).

If you want server-side validation (and you should always do it server-side
in addition to any client-side validation) then put the code where ever you
need it if you are using jscript in the ASP page. If you are using VBScript
in the page then you probably want to use VBScript for the server-side
validation as well.

Some JavaScript validation links (and they work fine on ASP pages just
as they do on regular HTML pages):
