Making a field in a form *required

[LittleNicky]

Ok this should be an easy one.How do I set a field in a form as required?

Here, (btw, please respond to my pm).In the header:

<style type="text/javascript" language="javascript">IsEntered(input){var input= document.getElementById(input);if(input == ""){alert("You need to fill in the "+form+" section of the form");}}</style>

For the form:

<form ...>.....<input type="text" name="blah" id="name" onblur="IsEntered(name)" />.....</form>

So when people click outside of this it will check, and alert the person if its empty. You might want to use a function to strip the spaces from it to check it. Not sure what function to use to do that though.

you will also want to check if it's empty after the forum is submitted, because they may disable JS.
