I'm sure everyone is leaping up and down with joy. Another newbie! Oh boy!

I could use some help with the form on my contact page. I'm not sure how to require fields. The page...http://www.mindkicker.com/Contact.html

Thanks!

I see your form is using the gdform.cgi script to process the form. Do you know if that script is coded to check for required fields? Not all scripts are coded to check for required fields.

No, I don't know if it does. I will have to look into that.

One other minor item. I'm not sure how to direct the user to a thank you page when they click on the button to send feedback. Where would I input that code and what would it be?

If you can run CGI, why not use FormMail.pl. mats formmail.pl

then all you do is manipulate hidden form elements. It's easy enough and works like a hot ****.

You can use a basic javascript form validating script...That way the form would not be submitted until there is all the appropriate data entered. Javascript uses a small piece of code on your page to check form values.

It is easy to find one on the web... just google "javascript web form valiadation".

Redirecting your visitors to a thankyou page must be done by the script you are sending your form to. Look at your <form> tag and the "action=..." that is the name of the file on your server that will process your form.

If it is a PHP script then just add:

header("location: thankyou.html");

and you will redirect them to your thankyou.html page.
