requiring an answer in a form

QUESTIONS:

How do I require that a certain field be filled-in in cdml?

MY SCENARIO:

I have a form that they are filling in via the web. Each time Users make an entry into this db, I'd like for Users to specify *the intended recipient* of the entry by checking on one or more of the checkboxes alongside peoples' names. At least one check would satisfy me. The User may check all of the boxes - that'd be OK.

I know about the FMPro button for Validation: Not Empty ... but how do I make that requirement stick when on the web?

Geez, I hope someone can answer me (in a way that hopefully is not beyond my level.)

Easiest way will be with JavaScript. The form will not be send to FileMaker if it is not filled and that will also decrease load on FM serving machine.

Look for an earlier thread about the Nervous Finger. There is a link to the JavaScript code you need.

OK - I will take a look at both and see how I fare. Will then check back in here.

I appreciate the responses (and the response TIME!)
