Validating Required Fields

[fjcunninghamjr]

Hi

If a field is set up as a 'required field' can I prevent the user from tabbing to the next field when no data/information is entered in this field.

I wish to be sure that all the information I need on a particular form is entered before it is either email or even printed. If so, where do I find the instructions to do this.

I am having this problem too. I found out that the Default Value populates itself with a space (for text fields) and the problem is that if they enter nothing it takes the default value (a space) and so the field is not empty and it passes the validation.



If you delete the space and try to tab off you get the error message. It seems to be impossible to leave the default value empty or turn it off for required fields, so surely this is a bug?
