ASP form crashing

[GabrielESandoval]

i have a very basic ASP form that sends information into a database

i had made a javascript that validates but when i hit submit if their
is info missing the javascript window pops up, tell me there missing
information then crashes into:

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e21'

Field 'Research.topic' cannot be a zero-length string

i though the javascript error would prevent the form from being
submitted. how can i fix this.

any ideas??? or if it comes down to it and i can live with people being
able to submit the form with blanks what changes do i make to the
submit procedure

thanks
gabriel

Do your validation on the server. Client-side javascript validation is
useless for those that have it turned off.

do you know any good basic validation codes or sites to get it off?
